Exactly. Too arrogant too proud.

This over-sensitivity to anything remotely anti-Turkish and there is something of value for a future re-unified CY in all this and that's to remind us all, that there's no place for this rubbish, nationalist Section 301 stuff in CY.
Perhaps you and Bir would have been correct that this bill would get quashed in the French Senate, but Turkey is doing again foolishly what she did with Israel, which was "Scourge Earth" policy, to inflict as much damage as possible just to break off relationship with Israel in order to please the Arabs so that Erdogan can be seen as the "hero". After a short while, the French people will definitely turn against the Turks and Turkey and punish them by passing this bill in the Senate, just so to teach Erdogan a lesson so that he knows where his place is amongst the EU member states. Turkey will be playing right into Sarkozy's hands by proving his case to the EU as to why Turkey does not belong in the EU. Revenge works both ways!
