French back off on the Turkey Genocide demand....BUT...their threat is to raise the issue at any time. Not so fast Red Rider----The Turkish papers are reporting something completely different;

To reassure voters, the president has already undertaken to change the country's constitution so that all future applications to the EU -- including Turkey's -- would have to be approved by a national referendum in France.

He and Barnier have also said that talks with Turkey may result in a "privileged partnership" rather than full-scale membership -- though they insists this is France's desired objective.
This is the new Iraq for France. Their duplicity has no boundaries. They are playing a dangerous game hoping Turkish anger will be directed at Iraq. We'll see.
