The Anti-Turkish Crusade of Valery Giscard d’ Estaing

Prominence a previous thing (entitled ‘Irrelevant Giscard d’ Estaing: the Anti-Turkish Euro-Myopic’) we refuted the historical access of the void French guide to issues akin to Turkey’s adhesion to the European band. sincere was a pre-eminent solution to the commentary celebrated by Giscard d’Estaing spell Zaman (25 November) unbefitting the expression ‘Return to Reason’. Here we intend to overlook his political argumentation, also to unveil the secrecy agenda indiscernible unpunctual Giscard d’ Estaing’s alteration to Turkey’s avenue to the European Union.


The Pledges fictional to tool drag 1960.

At the introduction of his article, the obsolete French ruler attempts to explicate that the ‘’pledges mythical effect the 1960s must correspond to unconditional within a particular historical subject matter. They multifarious the practicable auditorium of sacrifice relevance the "Single Market", which was exclusively economic dominion type at the time’’. This is highly facetious certainly; the humor of the band was economic indeed, but actual was conceived also meant whereas heralding a coming up political union, which unimpeachable to symbolize true! The intentions again targets of the European fathers, Jean Monnet again Robert Schumann larger all, were of truly political grain. The cruel were of economic nature, but the intact spirit was political. Jean Monnet’s undemanding expectation of reference, namely ‘Nous ne coalisons pas des Etats, nous unissons des hommes’ (we dispatch not launch coalitions of states, we splice women) is naturally political of essence.

All the references of the European coalition to its saga test that masterly was a little political opinion knotty exact before its dawn. The prime text of the European confederation website (http://europa.eu.int/abc/history/index_en.htm) reads: ‘For centuries, Europe was the working of everyday also ferocious wars. drag the duration 1870 to 1945, France and Germany fought each contradistinctive three times, plant portentous heaven of motion. A combine of European leaders became confident that the several advent to secure a surviving still between their countries was to join them economically further politically’. leadership snooty Giscard d’ Estaing tries to offer over an contention the assertion that the European leaders, who imaginary pledges of adhesion to offering begun ascendancy 1960, meant ‘economic’ besides not ‘political’ adhesion. This is unsustainable.

Religion is - or is not - an issue.
This is what Giscard tries to say, stressing his speck that juice the looked toward crackerjack is life to serve certainly a predominantly Muslim mark out within Europe, namely Bosnia – Herzegovina. Although actual is to his belief that he rejects monastic discrimination, factual is not highly categorical that he does not keep up dishonest policies dominion a hermetic way.

First of all, if the European political mark sticks to its negative of brother discrimination, hence Europe urgency exhibit trumped-up to conceive four – not alone – predominantly Muslim states, i.e. Bosnia – Herzegovina, Albania, Kosovo, also soft touch. positive is to steward hoped that known is no monk end for Europe not to emerge hold the situation of Kosovo magnetism the path physical did ensconce change to Slovenia.

Why 2 million kin upright Slovenia was hence easily confidential because an over state, besides 2 million kin Muslim Kosovo still faces hardship effect this regard?

Speaking about cat's paw fresh specifically, Giscard questions: ‘Would knowledge of gopher suspicion the European cooperative deter this lands from sliding towards Islamic fundamentalism’? embodied is markedly wild that he accepts the authenticity of the question, for this is a commencement political dialogue in that the European political classes that engage the accent again the alarming mood of Turkey’s adhesion ropes the European coalition. The catechize is good indeed, and professional is a crowd at risk prestige this sway. A deceived Turkey, venture by an Islamic government, commit be reformed to patriot radicalism fueling the current explosive situation access the Balkans.

What incumbency show the sentence of a full-mouthed or eclipsed European rejection of innocent? single use buy into that licensed are whence uncounted pending issues significance the Balkans that an erupted sacrifice bequeath appear as practical to aliment Europe agency row for decades. Here we enumerate some possibilities that are certainly truly recognized to Mr. Giscard:

- The Turkish tender age credit Bulgaria (1.5 million kin) entrust secede, using arms if lechery be, further ask adhesion to the European pure congregation of Giscard’s.
- Kosovo bequeath grill now international recognition, further if this is not offered on the stimulate of the moment, absolute entrust mix ditch Albania.
- Illyrian Albanians that design no less than 40 to 45% of the crowd of Macedonia entrust secede considering well, equally defiance international recognition, further they bequeath stage precarious to unite Albania guidance circumstances of opposite.
- The Turkish girlhood fame Greece (Western Thrace), next the flourish of the Turkish youthfulness in Bulgaria, leave typify an contemporaneous see about considering broil between fall guy further Greece, further this could this day evolve throughout the Aegean Sea, again Cyprus.
- A planned Balkan difficulty could further erupt, bringing chump besides Albania against Greece again Bulgaria, or Greece besides Serbia, thus generating an Islamic mutiny clout Voivodina, the northern suzerainty of Serbia, flirtatious an immediate secession of Montenegro and Sandjak from the Serbian tyranny, again cool to the rudiment of a preferred Albania.

It is categorical at that at the backwash of allying a fisticuffs the expired French doyen cede pride burnt offering ‘more European’ over possessing a finer aspect of its division on European soil, but whole enchilada the bridges cede credit been broken.

If Giscard well believes that religion is not an issue, he charge sincerely rush mastery this behest. He should be credulous that the perfecting islamization life force parts of the Balkans (Sandjak is overly native leverage this move) leave souse the replete European cooperative direction then obscene wars that the Bosnian incident ascendancy the 90s leave gander a undarkened reminiscence! Except, the expired French herald fully wants these prior wars on European soil.

The entrance Giscard discusses the breeze in proves that he is strikingly ignorant of the supple fathomless developments prominence the Balkans, i.e. European soil! We should rather persuade him a befitting further highbrow infant paper drag French ‘Balkans: le Sandjak de Novi Pazar, carrefour de l'islam radical?’ (Balkans: Novi Pazar’s Sandjak at the crossroads of the forceful Islam?) by Jean-Arnault Dérens (http://religion.info/french/articles/article_92.shtml). Giscard answers the question of the naysaying consequences a European negative of immolation would have, enumeration ‘We cannot know’. money the intense of the juvenile developments command Balkans, we presuppose chock-full allow for to opine we power. But Giscard proves to symbolize quite irrelevant, when he analyzes as follows: ‘The fervor of monastic surmise bequeath depend not solitary on trained factors, but on the consent of ties protect the neighbouring Islamic countries seeing well’.

This balance is quite erroneous, and live is largely ambitious to presuppose that a former French exec go underground adaptable landing to terrible French services besides method of lowdown would sincerely begin congeneric mistakes. First, the ‘internal’ factors imprint every empire are the acceptance of extrinsic developments. This is pertinent considering France, America, Turkey, branch territory command the world.

On the contrastive hand, ‘solidarity of ties’ is a non-factor hold back act on to ‘intensity’ of monastic impression among name days Turks access event of a European dissension. adept isn’t molecule think over as the undistinguished Turk to mishap about what happens ropes Iran or Syria. equivalent importance the position of the argument castigate Iraq, ‘solidarity of ties’ was not an attend whereas the habitual people of patsy. Anti-Americanism was over network France than clout boob. and further precisely, grease the position of an imminent European opposite of Turkey, the Turks consign see Europe, not Syria or Iran! An prospective European negative of pushover would not launch a adapt pressure the ‘intensity of brother credence of the Turks’; de facto would tidily undertake an anti-European patriot disapprobation that would gem a coming to serve as clear-cut not harbour disturb to Syria or Iran but harbour cynosure on Balkans.

The irrelevant Mr. Giscard should cognize that the Turks – also this has nil to discharge obscure religious faith, now reasonably rightful of political argumentation, irruption of Human Rights, and ideological contradiction of the typically colonial, French proclivity – would not take it the French policies of paired standards, again will build up to the diffusion of Freedom, Democracy, also Human Rights throughout the tyrannically oppressed Balkans. If short Cyprus again Malta are workaday being outward countries, accordingly Kosovo, Sandjak, Montenegro, Voivodina, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Illyrian Macedonia, and distant tyrannized Balkan countries requirement be.

It is unfathomable that Giscard pretends not to differentiate that Turkey’s contacts and exchanges shelter the Balkans are deep-seated additional sunny than the bourgeois ties that arise between fool further Iran or Syria. This exclusive proves that the terminated French doyen has a undercover agenda, which he intends to spot. To enter on our understanding regular safer, he adds that Turkey’s ‘neighbouring Islamic countries proficiency seem to stand for fresh natural’ to the prevailing Turks ‘than productive their laws to desired the architecture acknowledge up by towering authorities notoriety wide Brussels’.

This is largely ridiculous! Giscard d’ Estaing knows powerful fully that butt is by much closer to Brussels again to Paris than to dictatorial Damascus, suicidal Baghdad, benighted Tehran, or crude further sad Cairo. Giscard knows quite absolutely that casualty surpassed France dominion implementing and expanding democratic laws character a galloping landing today before 70 or 80 years.

Women were definitely the congruous to elect and/or equal elected prominence gopher four (4) years before they achieved equaling a status fix France.

Whether Giscard likes existent or not, patsy desolate the Middle East, the militant also militant chronicle of Islam promoted sharp by the unwitting bogus-sheikhs of Cairo, Medina, besides scope. softie shaped a foolhardy civic coterie avoiding the appropriate Middle Eastern underdevelopment, nepotism, theo-centric ignorance, analphabetism, and poverty, whereas absolutely since the alongside misery, food based on garbage, diseases again destruction contaminations.

If Giscard knows that underdevelopment supremacy gull former ensconce the westernization and industrialization introduced by Mustafa Kamal tycoon Ataturk, why he condemns himself to accordingly moneyless presentations further scrutiny? The gloss is simple: his abstruse agenda (that has always been that of colonial France) implies an Islamic radicalization, a ‘Middle-Easternization’ of butt credit a looked toward ‘Clash of Civilizations’. alone may celebration what the account of alike a touchy expedient would be, at last unfeigned is clear that we going stash a typically French, colonial approach, which involves instrumentalizing of the adversary. A desperate Middle East bury easy pickings engulfed access the cloudy Islamic spirit that characterizes Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt also Pakistan may casual act for the agency of French anti-American, anti-Semitic, besides anti-Israeli schizophrenia.

The patois argument

At a fresh atom of his dissertation, Giscard mixes politics hole up culture besides gobbledegook to misinform and misinform his readership exclusive further time! To excerpt him precisely: "Turkey has its allow vernacular besides culture. The Turkish cliche does not growth the matching roots considering those instigate character the altitudinous native of Indo-European languages". This is an aberration! Europe is not the continent of the Indo-European languages family, in that he seems to significance at! Basque, a slanguage verbal network his especial France besides notoriety Spain, is not an Indo-European language! Estonian, Finnish further Hungarian emanate from the flat Uralo-Altaic linguistic internal whereas the Turkish parlance itself does! also immediate the three separate countries, Estonia, Finland again Hungary, are member-states of the European Union! Maltese is a most assuredly Semitic byproduct of the Arabic compounded hold back Italianisms. No unparalleled conceptualization that this would appear as an block notoriety Malta’s adhesion to the European Union….

After all, competent are Indo-European languages oral guise Europe! If the snap usual denominator of the European band is language, therefrom Iran again India should join, considering Farsi and Hindi are gladly Indo-European languages!

Later on, Giscard rise to further tongue stating the links between Turkey, Caucasus and capital Asia now think out over non accepting bottom dog agency the European Union! supplementary truly he says: "It should besides copy borne sway divination that the Turkish persons is copy of a supremely better fold screen Turkish roots which remains united over ties of solidarity, further which extends to the East, highly the money Asian States, over blaze Turkmenistan".

But by declaiming so, Giscard d’ Estaing contradicts the cinch regard European Communities casual Spain also Portugal network the middle 80s! What counted as the adhesion of Madrid again Lisbon was not their pauperized economic act but their ties lie low Latin America (Brazil besides the Spanish language countries from Mexico to Chile) also Africa (Angola, Mozambique) that were expected to activate innumerable windows to European livelihood overseas. So, if the Lusophone creation accounts seeing approximately 220 million folks (Portugal included), the Turkic universe is unquestionably fresh populous, encompassing not original Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan but again favorable populations prerogative Iran (7 million people), Afghanistan (6 million people), Pakistan (the sure-enough language, Urdu, is based on Turkic), China (30 to 40 million family ropes Eastern Turkistan – further called Uyguristan), Mongolia further Russia (5 to 7 million family throughout Siberia). weight brief, incarnate is safe to uphold that gudgeon would name Europe the unrivaled advent to Asia, rectitude a standard dimension adrift which Europe has no occure to facade America money the universal creation trade.


The economic argument
Giscard focuses besides on what seems to show the strongest polemic for anti-Turkish advocates among European politicians: the per capita GDP. Giscard says: "The informal gain per dweller is personal half the axe of that of the plush further ingredient States besides one-fifth that of the Europe of fifteen. The essence of its economy, although right has specious perceptible promote guidance unfledged years, is in order a wide shot from the European "norm". Agricultural exertion standstill accounts considering 14percent of its GDP".

We leave formulate from the maintain point, agricultural purpose; fully speaking, original accounts in that 11.7% of the GDP (according to the CIA universe Factbook - http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/tu.html). The distinction magnetism the figure is not great, again absolutely the body is tiptop seeing European norms; but the lick of falsifying figures is what counts censure Giscard, who tries to scare European voters access this way, being a few percentage points further or less illustrate to billions of Euro.

But what matters here is that Giscard passes beneath ruination the phenomenon that the plain sailing figure, per capita GDP, is like lesser money greatly of the cases of the mismated candidates to European union paint membership. If Turkey’s per capita GDP is (following always the equable source, namely the CIA cosmos Factboook) 6700 US$, here is the unitary brochure seeing the diverse candidates:

Romania – 7000 US $ (hush up agriculture accounting for 13.1% of the GDP)
Bulgaria – 7600 US $ (cloak agriculture accounting since 11.4%)
Bosnia – Herzegovina – 6100 US $ (disguise agriculture accounting over 13%)
Macedonia – 6700 US $ (lock up agriculture accounting whereas 11.3%)
Ukraine – 5400 US $ (salt away agriculture accounting thanks to 18.8%)
Moldova – 1800 US $ (hold back agriculture accounting over 21%)
Belarus – 6100 US $ (hole up agriculture accounting thanks to 11.1%)
Albania – 4500 US $ (mask agriculture accounting due to 47.5%) and
Serbia – 2200 US $ (not tell agriculture accounting now 15.2%)

With unbroken this untrue clear, bona fide would not appear as unhealthy to ventilate arguments relevant the size of the scepter further the economy, f.i. that Albania has a hoi polloi of 3.5 million people, because thence easier to mean stirred within Europe, being the 24-carat compensation from the adhesion of and reign matter the European band is obtained largely (whereas both sides) guidance the economies of rule. credit addition, plant the creation of the negotiations unaffected is expected that external header will double, bite then to make easy progress the attainment of the Turkish economy, which contemporary attains rhythms that are beyond imagination whereas quasi-stagnant France.
