French business circles worried about an Armenian bill, says Economy Minister Caglayan

ANKARA (A.A) - Turkish Economy Minister Zafer Caglayan said Friday that he held a closed door meeting with the representatives of French companies in Ankara last week about Turkish-French relations following an Armenian bill that was adopted at the French Senate on January 23. Speaking to the AA after inaugurating the Anadolu Agency's new editorial desk in Ankara, Caglayan said that French business circles were worried about the Armenian bill and France's wrong approach to the incidents of 1915. An Armenian bill adopted at the French Senate on January 23 criminalizes the denial of Armenian allegations pertaining to the incidents of 1915. Also speaking after the inauguration of the AA editorial desk, the President of the AA Executive Board and Director General Kemal Ozturk said that "thanks to state of the art technology being utilized, we can connect with 100 regions in the world and hold online meeting with 30 editors. We discuss the developments in the world and Turkey with our editors. How urgent a news is being debated at this editorial desk".
