By Micah Halpern
Saturday December 24, 2011 I've Been Thinking: There was a true diplomatic scuffle between France and Turkey. It happened as a result of a bill, passed in the French Parliament, making it illegal to deny genocide - specifically the genocide of the Armenians which took place at the close of WW I at the hands of the Turks. The Turks have called the bill racist and will not even posit a public argument to debate the issue. French diplomats have asked Turkey to discuss the matter, suggesting that pulling an ambassador is a very serious diplomatic act. The French are suggesting that there are other, better methods of resolving differences. Observers are not placing bets on a reconciliation, they see this diplomatic posturing as indicative of the new Turkey. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
