Bahçeli: Armenian-Turkish protocols must be scrapped for good
Some of the harshest reactions in Turkey to the Armenian Genocide bill passed by the French National Assembly came from Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), whose leader Devlet Bahçeli said the adoption of the bill would go down in history as “a great scandal and a black stain,” Hurriyet Daily News reported.
Bahçeli said the government’s “submissive policies” emboldened “the enmity camp erected against our country.”
He said protocols aimed at normalizing ties with Armenia must be scrapped for good and the government must apologize for having launched the initiative.
According to him, Turkey must cut off political and economic relations with France.
