Turkey recalls envoy from France over 'genocide' bill
22 December 2011 Turkey recalls envoy from France over 'genocide' bill
Armenians say up to 1.5m people were killed by the Ottoman Turks in 1915-16
The Turkish ambassador to France has been recalled in protest at a bill making it illegal to deny the mass killing of Armenians was genocide.
The National Assembly in Paris voted by a show of hands to back the bill by a large majority, and it will go before the Senate next year.
Turkey rejects the term "genocide" to describe the killing of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire.
