Denying Algerian Genocide Will be Crime in Turkey

One day before France negotiates the Armenian Genocide bill, the TBMM (Grand National Assembly of Turkey) will discuss a bill that France committed genocide in Algeria. The law bills of three deputies regarding France's Algerian genocide have been postponed for months in order not to ruin Turkey- France relationships. However, TBMM (Grand National Assembly of Turkey) took one step when France took action to accept Armenian Genocide bill.

Approximately 1.5 million Algerian Muslim Arabs were tortured and massacred under the French rule. According to the Algerian sources 1.5 million dead, while French officials estimated it at 350,000. Some Algerians argue that the massacres should be named as genocide and France must apologize from the Algerians. However the French do not accept the claims.
