Turkish envoy back in Paris amid row over so called Armenian 'genocide'.
The Turkish ambassador to France, Tahsin Burcuoglu, has returned to Paris after consultations over French legislation that would outlaw denial of the Armenian 'genocide', an official said Sunday.
"The ambassador has finished the consultations for which he was recalled and returned to France on Saturday," Turkish foreign ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal told AFP.
Burcuoglu was recalled to Ankara after the French parliament's lower house approved a bill criminalising denial of the 'genocide' and will now focus on preventing the bill from being approved by the Senate, Unal said.
