France=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=s Genocide policies affect people – Turkish official

Turkey's EU minister has complained that France's policies regarding the Armenia Genocide have caused a big harm to the French companies.
Receiving a delegation of Turkish businessmen, Egemen Bagish said the policies of the former French government largely impacted the people.
"Since 2002, France's trade turnover has been $5 billion, the amount reaching $16 billion in 2011.
