A wealthy French businessman has launched a 1 million euro fund to pay the fine of anyone convicted in France for denying that the killing of Armenians by Turks almost a century ago was genocide.
Rachid Nekkaz, who previously offered to pay the fines of Muslim women penalized for wearing a full-face veil, claims that the real target of the French bill is Islam, since Turkey is a Muslim country.
The French Parliament has not yet made it a crime to deny that the 1915 killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks constituted genocide. The bill passed in the lower house on Dec. 22, prompting an angry Turkey to recall its ambassador and suspend contacts and military cooperation.todayszaman
