Relations between Paris and Ankara had begun to thaw after a decision in February by France's constitutional court to strike down the genocide denial law as contrary to free speech. Turkey had canceled all economic, political and military meetings with France in December after the French parliament voted in favour of the draft law. At a joint news conference last week, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the law was unlikely to be resurrected and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu hailed the opening of a warmer phase in relations with France. But Hollande's office said on Monday the president would stand by his pledge, made to French Armenians while on the campaign trail ahead of his election in May. "The position is very clear, the commitment will be met," a source at Hollande's office said. Asked about Hollande's decision, Turkish President Abdullah Gul said Ankara was not prepared to act on unconfirmed reports and said recent meetings in Paris had been positive. "We will follow it and let's see what the result will be," he said. Given the likelihood that the constitutional court would reject a new law, weekly newspaper JDD reported that Hollande's government was examining alternative legal means, including penalising denial via official decree. Armenia, backed by many historians, says about 1.5 million Christian Armenians were killed in what is now eastern Turkey during World War One in a deliberate policy of genocide ordered by the Ottoman government. Turkey says there was heavy loss of life on both sides during the fighting in which Armenian partisans supported invading Russian forces. The Ottoman Empire collapsed after the war. Successive Turkish governments and the vast majority of Turks feel the charge of genocide is an insult to their nation. Turkey hopes Hollande's election might mean France is more open to its joining the European Union than under his conservative predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy, but has so far received no public support for its EU bid from Paris.
