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.

If Erdogan has no problem making scenes like the one in Davos why should he expect any less ?

How is denying the eponym's genocide improving relations with Armenia?

Modern Armenia looks at it rather differently than the diaspora does.

I imagine modern Armenia is more placating, yes.

I'm sorry, but really, you do not have a clue.

Whether motivated by religion or pure nationalism allowing genocide to be denied is a bad precedent.

I wish the Turks would just admit it on their own.

I agree. They just need to man up and admit it, apologize, and move on. *NM*
