Representatives of Turkic peoples living in Saint Petersburg, Russia, are highly critical of the French National Assembly for approving a bill criminalizing denial of so called Armenian Genocide, Tert.am reported.
On Dec. 31, they staged a picket in front of the French Consulate General in Saint Petersburg.
The action was organized by the Azeri community. Ismail Agayev, Chairman of the International Diasporan Center, announced the goal of the picket. The participants chanted slogans – “Sarkozy, stop!”, “France’s parliament, stop!”, “Azerbaijan and Turkey are brothers!”, “Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan!”
The protesters demanded that France not be allowed to remain OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing country any more.
