Le Figaro: EU’s treatment of Turkey two-faced

Under the headline of "Unfairly punished Turkey and Syria," the French
newspaper Le Figaro has run an article asserting that Brussels is
trying to "make Turkey accept their conditions in a degrading manner,
by forcing them to open their ports to Southern Cypriots."

The Le Figaro article also mentions what it calls the "two faced
actions displayed by the EU to Turkey," and talks about Turkey being
"thrown about for months" by the EU. Issues such as the Kurdish and
the Armenian manners are also mentioned in the article, with Le Figaro
commenting that "it is a provocation that at a time when Turkey is
approaching the unconditional research of the (so-called) Armenian
genocide, the European Parliament has decided to open up the matter
for discussion. This is also a road sure to dissuade both the Turkish
people and the Turkish government from the path to the EU."
