PARIS, OCTOBER 5, ARMENPRESS: A group of Turkish parliamentarians in Paris threatened they would press for expulsion of thousands of Armenian citizens living and working illegally in Turkey if France adopted a legislation criminalizing the denial of the Armenian genocide.
One of the group, Sukru Elekdag from the main opposition Republican Democratic Party was quoted by Reuters as saying that some 70,000 Armenian citizens work and live in Turkey without proper permissions. He said they all would be forced out of the country if France adopted the law.
The French National Assembly is set to discuss the bill in question on October 12. In May when the bill was presented by the opposition Socialist party, Turkey recalled its ambassador in Paris.
