Yep Presidential Election next year so why not go for the Armenian vote, will gain himm maybe 400,000 votes pmsl.
Maybe its me being too cynical but I actually think it has more to do with the EU, by forcing the Turks to make this sort of reaction they can bring sanction to them through the EU. Turkey is after all only an associate member at the moment.
If and when Turkey does become a full member state they would be entitled to the same sort of economic assistance that Ireland Spain and Greece received, but also allow the Turkish citizens to move fully into the European Labour markets.
At the moment there is no requirement for France to hold a referendum on the Turkish accession into Europe, provided a majority of both the senate and parliamnet vote in favour.
