Algeria's PM has asked Turkey's Erdogan to mind his own business and not to pursue international recognition of the Algerian genocide.

However Algerian opposition leader pointed out that Turkey was right in accusing France of genocide. Algeria is having elections soon and public opinion favours the Turkish view.

Now, France's Sarkozy is campaigning for an EU-wide law that is based on France's own bill that would make it a criminal offence to disagree with the French government's point of view.

There is little or no talk of the Rwanda Genocide so far.
