Turkish ambassador returns to France
Turkey's Foreign Ministry says the country's ambassador to France has returned to his post to try to stop the approval of a law that would make it a crime to deny that the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks constitute genocide.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Selcuk Unal said on Sunday that Ambassador Tahsin Burcuoglu flew to Paris on Saturday after finishing his consultations with senior Turkish officials. Burcuoglu had left Paris on Dec. 23, a day after the French bill was passed in the lower house. (AP)
