Prime Minister Erdogan laid into France for its acceptance of the
Armenian bill. "The France of Sarkozy's administration is based on
dogma, biases and delirium."
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdošan slammed France in his Address to the
Nation last night by delivering the following messages:
FRANCE IS HAUNTED BY THE MENTALITY OF THE MIDDLE AGES: "Unfortunately
a civilization that brags of being the pioneer of enlightenment is
now led by a dark Middle Ages mentality. The France, which once aimed
to form a union in order to prevent conflict in Europe following the
Second World War, today speaks a language of discrimination, racism
and conflict. The France of the Age of Enlightenment was the center
of intellectualism, however the France of Sarkozy's administration
is based on dogma, biases and delirium."
STEPPING ON EUROPEAN VALUES: "We have issued the necessary threats to
France. With the approaching election, Sarkozy seems to have no problem
stepping on European values all for the sake of a few thousand votes
by Devshirmeh." Erdošan's reference is to the Christians conscripted
to join the janissaries during the Ottoman Empire.
"I have said it before; this bill that was accepted by the French
National Assembly and Senate is non existent for us. By attempting to
rewrite history in the parliament, Sarkozy's France is forcing open a
door to a very dangerous era. Therefore, as Turkey, in order to stop
watering this poisonous vine sprouting in France, we are asking our
French comrades and the French public to raise their voices."
SAY 'NO' TO THIS ANIMOSITY AGAINST TURKEY: "I believe that the
conventional wisdom inherent in France will say stop to this trend
of racism and discrimination led by Sarkozy and to the animosity
towards Turkey. Turkey is a great country and will act in accordance
to this greatness. It will take on stances according to the course
of developments and we will implement sanctions in stages."
