Turkey has reacted with fury to a vote by French lawmakers to outlaw denial of the 1915 Armenian genocide, immediately cutting military ties and warning of "irreparable damage" to relations.

"This is politics based on racism, discrimination and xenophobia," thundered Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday, ordering home Ankara's ambassador to Paris and banning political visits between the two NATO allies.

"From now on we are revising our relations with France," he added. "There was no genocide committed in our history. We do not accept this."

The French National Assembly had voted to approve a first reading of a law that would ban anyone from denying that the killings of hundreds of thousands of Armenians by Ottoman Turk forces during World War I amount to genocide.

    Listen you brainwashed, hateful person..

    There are two types of people. Good and Bad. And the bad Armenians were the cause of most of the problems. It was because of their greed and nationalistic ambitions to build a country within the Ottoman Empire They were the first to terrorize the civilians in the Ottoman Empire, including innocent Armenians and Muslims.
