Meanwhile, Turkey is taking steps to break all relations with France, ranging from diplomatic to economic trade. Here comes the point of absurdity: Minister of Justice, Ergin reaches the point of uttering that the bill passed by the senators does not have legal force. He is right to a certain extent: the bill is not signed by President Sarkozy. But it is just interesting what they what the Turkish officials will say after the law has come into effect. Measuring others’ corn by her own bushel, Turkey does not even admit the thought that France, being faithful to democracy and freedom of speech, could not have voted down. Let us leave aside the pre-election manipulations, which the Turkish-Azerbaijani press is so keen on. It’s true that Armenian electorate in France is quite large - about 330 thousand. But they always vote for the government, in this case for the incumbent president, or for the most likely candidate. This is normal behavior for a minority that is not asking for extra problems. Instead of going off into hysterics, Turkey had better finally admit that the Ottoman Empire killed its own citizens of Christian religion. But “neo-Ottomans” are not capable of such behavior.
