"Turkish civil groups spearhead French boycott campaign

The New Anatolian / Ankara
A Turkish civil group began to boycott French products and services in Turkey yesterday in a move to encourage rejection of a bill prescribing prison terms and fines for people who question Armenian genocide claims.

The boycott was launched ahead of the French Parliament gathering on May 18 to debate the bill, which calls for prison terms of up to one year and fines of up to 45,000 euros for deniers of the so-called Armenian genocide."
