The New Anatolian-AKP discusses recognition of Algerian 'genocide'

"AKP discusses recognition of Algerian 'genocide'

Senem Caglayan - The New Anatolian / Ankara


A ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party deputy on Wednesday opened a draft bill for signatures that aims at Turkey's recognition of a French massacre of 200,000 Algerians between 1954 and 1962 as 'genocide.'

The move mirrors the French Parliament's current discussions on a bill that aims to punish those who question Armenian genocide claims with prison time."
