Aratta-Kingdom Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 PanARMENIAN.Net 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. 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 Noyan Tapan 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.

Zartonk Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
