"From now on, it won't be Turkey that loses but France"

Turkey's foreign minister continues unprecedented barrage of threats directed at France after the French National Assembly has passed a bill criminalising denial of the Armenian Genocide, while the Turkish parliament issued the following statement: "Armenia's use of lobby efforts in France and in other countries and its hostile policies against the rights and pride of the Turkish nation will cost dearly to them." It is telling that less than a century after the Armenian population of Western Armenia was nearly exterminated by the Ottoman government in an organised genocide, present-day Turkish government shows no hesitation in blackmailing France for alleged colonial misrule.
