"France warned over 'genocide' law
A top EU official has urged France not to push ahead with a bill which he says could sour relations between the EU and aspiring member Turkey.
French MPs are due to discuss the bill - which would make it a crime to deny that Turkey perpetrated a genocide against Armenians - on Thursday.
Turkey's foreign minister threatened economic sanctions against France if the bill succeeds.
EU enlargement commissioner Olli Rehn said the bill was "counterproductive"."
