/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, on a visit to Paris, has reportedly relayed Ankara's concerns over a bill being introduced to the French Parliament by the Socialist Party which would make it a crime to publicly deny the Armenian Genocide. Gul voiced the concerns of the AKP-led administration at a working dinner with his French counterpart, Foreign Minister Phillipe Douste-Blazy. Reminding Douste-Blazy that Ankara had already proposed that a joint commission of historians work together on the matter, Gul said that French historians and historians from any country interested would be welcome to work on the commission, the Hurriyet Turkish newspaper writes."
