Turkey's president expressed belief on Tuesday that the French Constitutional Council would make the right decision on the law penalizing denial of Armenian allegations on the Ottoman era incidents of 1915, adopted at the French Senate.
President Abdullah Gul said he did not think that the French would overshadow their own country.
"Now the Constitutional Court will make the right decision," Gul told reporters in Dubai.
Earlier on Tuesday, French senators appealed on Tuesday the law penalizing denial of the Armenian allegations on the Ottoman era incidents of 1915 adopted at the French Senate.
65 MPs and 72 senators signed to appeal the law at the French Constitutional Council.
The council is expected to make public its decision within a month.
The French Parliament and Senate enacted the bill last week.
The law penalizes denial of the Armenian allegations with a prison term of one year and a fine of 45 thousand euros.
