French Minister: I have special attitude towards Armenia and Armenians

24.02.2007 16:47 GMT+04:00

 

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia and France have much in common, and first of

all our cultures are very much alike. The best evidence of it is the

Year of Armenia in France, French Minister-Delegate for Regional

Development Christian Estrosi told reporters in Yerevan. He said, the

Armenian Diaspora of France is well-organized and plays a great role

in social-political life of the country. `They all are descendant of

those who survived the Armenian Genocide in 1915 and found their

second motherland in France. Armenians of France are our citizens who

work for the welfare and prosperity of the French Republic,' Estrosi

underlined. He also noted that despite all difficulties of past few

years, Armenia managed to keep her political culture and

originality. `I have special attitude towards Armenia and Armenians,'

he said.

With his love for Armenians, this dude scares me. :wub:

French love means the girl love the guy, and the guy loves another guy.

 

Enough with the joke. The french armenians truly have achieved a lot. It reached to a point when the turks are getting mad about the role of the armenians in the french life.

 

 

 

ARMENIANS ARE SO STRONG IN FRANCE THAT MAY DO WHAT THEY WANT, FORMER

AMBASSADOR OF TURKEY TO FRANCE COMPLAINS

Armenians Today

Dec 5 2005

 

 

ISTANBUL, DECEMBER 5, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. "France sold

Turkey for 280(this must be 500,000) thousand Armenians living on its territory," Uluj

Eozulker, the Ambassador of Turkey finished his diplomatic mission

on the territory of France stated at the interview to the Turkish

"Huriet" daily.

 

 

According to the Istanbul "Marmara" daily, Eozulker said that France is

 

 

"a pugnacious country" and displayed a similar "pugnacious" attitude in

 

 

the issue of membership of the Great Britain and Spain to the European

Union. On the occasion of Turkey's possible membership to the EU the

Turk diplomat stated: "It's supposed that France must be a friendly

country for Turkey: Jacques Chirac is sure that Turkey is an European

country: this confidence comes from the period of De Golle. That means

that Chirac also believes in Turkey's membership but there is a small

confusion when and how will this membership be," Eozulker mentioned.

 

 

The Turk diplomat emphasized that Armenians are so strong in France

that they are able to implement everything they want: They contituously

 

 

make the anti-Turkish propaganda an issue on the agenda. In spite of

their being already Frenchmen they are afraid of danger of assimilation

 

 

and that's why they remind the younger generation about their being

Armenians and attempt to gather young people around the idea of the

Genocide. They are present in all spheres.

 

 

The Armenian issue in France is nothing but a problem of selling

Turkey for 280 thousand Armenian votes," he stated.

 

 

The former Ambassador of Turkey to France also mentioned that in France

Armenians have a great influence on the mass media. "Armenians are well

organized. Armenians enter local administrations in cities like Lyons,

Marseilles or Paris. Our influence on such a situation is still weak,"

Eozulker emphasized.

 

 

 

 

Turks, on the other hand, are adviced to...

 

 

FRENCH PRESIDENT JACQUES CHIRAC SAYS 'TURKEY MUST UNDERGO MAJOR CULTURAL REVOLUTION'

 

BRUSSELS (AP)--French President Jacques Chirac said on Tuesday that

Turkey must undergo a "major cultural revolution" before entering

the European Union (EU), and reiterated that France would hold a

referendum on admitting Ankara to the bloc.

 

 

Chirac's comments represented the tough road ahead in Turkey's

membership in the 25-nation EU. It took last-minute wrangling after two

days of arduous talks between EU foreign ministers to overcome Austrian

objections to start the negotiations.

Ariane, if you live in Marseille, there must be many Armenians near you. I remember you saying there weren't any Armenians where you lived? Or did you move from Marseille to some other city?

Yeah I'm from Marseille, but now I live in a little village near Montpellier another city, in Marseille there's many armenians community, churches, schools... But here in Montpellier there's only 1 active community, I've already met them a few years ago, I did not found wot I was looking for. But it's good to know we are representated

To be quite honest with you, I have never seen a statesman cry about the acceptance and influence of another people's diaspora in a country not his own. This is whining as far as I can be concerned.

Yes U're right, but they should cry, if they accept the B****** in UE
