France had an open and long-standing alliance with the Osman Empire. Not because France was less religious or less Christian or less Catholic than the other European countries, but because it was politically convenient - they had a joint enemy in the Habsburgs. In 1689, that alliance wasn't really functional anymore, but still the siege of Vienna was a simple political war, not some kind of special religious war, for all that the pope tried to claim it was one.


Not to mention, the Pope (Innocent XI), being anything but a fan of France, had his own agenda.

Sigh. I wish they would stop trying to pass that. - 04/03/2010 10:55:58 PM 190 Views
If Erdogan has no problem making scenes like the one in Davos why should he expect any less ? - 05/03/2010 12:11:33 AM 180 Views
What, are you still mad about that? - 05/03/2010 12:30:57 AM 182 Views
With all due respect, fuck Turkey. - 05/03/2010 12:35:03 AM 185 Views

How is denying the eponym's genocide improving relations with Armenia? - 05/03/2010 01:44:17 AM 188 Views

Modern Armenia looks at it rather differently than the diaspora does. - 05/03/2010 09:58:21 AM 182 Views
Yes, but the Turks are pretending not to understand democracy - 05/03/2010 11:04:25 AM 172 Views
I imagine modern Armenia is more placating, yes. - 15/03/2010 05:58:24 AM 171 Views
I'm sorry, but really, you do not have a clue. - 15/03/2010 01:02:50 PM 210 Views
Whether motivated by religion or pure nationalism allowing genocide to be denied is a bad precedent. - 03/04/2010 11:04:53 AM 190 Views

I wish the Turks would just admit it on their own. - 05/03/2010 12:33:27 AM 170 Views
I agree. They just need to man up and admit it, apologize, and move on. *NM* - 05/03/2010 01:38:12 AM 78 Views
