Turkey's EU minister meets Danish ambassador in Ankara

ANKARA (A.A) - December 19, 2011 - Turkey's European Union Minister and chief negotiator Egemen Bagis on Monday met with Danish Ambassador in Ankara Ruben Madsen.        Bagis expressed hope during the meeting that Danish courts would give ruling which would halt Denmark-based broadcast of Roj TV, which Turkey says is a mouthpiece of the terrorist organization of PKK.   "Roj TV casts a shadow on our bilateral relations with Denmark. We are looking forward to hearing a ruling that would end this negative aspect," Bagis said.    Responding to a question over a French bill that makes denying of Ottoman-era incidents of 1915 punishable with a one year prison term and a fine of 45 thousand euros, Bagis said the bill was problematic in the sense that it limited freedom of expression. "The French Revolution was made to secure freedom of expression and now they are set to debate a bill that bans expressing one's opinions. There is no sense in this," Bagis said.
