Turkey promises sanctions against France for passing a law on criminal persecution for the non-recognition of Armenian Genocide, ANS Press reports.
Turkey plans to withdraw its Ambassador Takhsin Burzhuoglu from France. Turkey would demand the same step from Paris. Turkey would withdraw its military attaches and cancel accreditation of the French ones.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that Turkey would recognize genocide of Algerians by France in 1945. Other Turkish steps are limitation of French participation in tenders, a stop for exchange of recon information, a close of air access to Turkey for French air forces, a band for French military vessels on Turkish territorial waters. Turkey would also stop support of France in international organizations, stop giving information on Iran, Syria and the Middle East and would stop cooperating in science, technologies and culture.
