Turkey suspends military ties with France

None

Turkey has suspended military relations with France in a dispute over whether the mass killings of Armenians in the last century amounted to genocide, the land forces commander said Wednesday.

 

The move was the latest backlash against French legislation that, if approved by the French Senate and president, would criminalize denial that the World War I-era killings of Armenians in Turkey were genocide. (AP)
