'Satan Sarkozy': Turkish media reacted strongly against the new French law.

Turkish media reacted strongly against the new French law that makes it a crime to deny the Armenian genocide, calling French president Nikolas Sarkozy ‘Satan’ and saying that the law will ‘murder’ democracy.

“Sözcü” Daily Newspaper writes that “Sarkozy’s evil plan sold out long time ally Turkey” and calls him “The Satan”. 

"There is no Armenian Genocide," Takvim writes in Turkish and French. "France fell into the trap of Sarkozy, he made them sign a historic shame" adds the Turkish daily Newspaper.

"He Murdered Democracy" is the title of “Hürriyet”, next to Sarkozy’s photograph.

To note, French senators passed a bill on January 23 making it illegal to deny that the 1915 mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks was genocide.
