Turkish groups uniting against France's 'genocide' recognition

Turkish groups in France are set to join forces in Paris today to work to overturn the French Parliament's recognition of the so-called Armenian genocide.
For the first meeting of an umbrella committee spearheaded by local offices of the Anatolian Culture Centers and Kemalist Thought Association, some 300 Turkish associations in France were invited.
Today's meeting is going to be held to exchange ideas for the goals and work of the committee. A public statement after the meeting is planned to announce how the committee will campaign against the legislative recognition.
At a press conference last week, the groups organizing the committee meeting demanded that Parliament's recognition of the "genocide" in 2001 be reversed, saying that judging history was up to the historians, not lawmakers.
