Why just France?

Why just France?  What are we talking about?  Today in Paris, a demonstration took place.  RES-EAP reports:


"Down with the fascist regime in Turkey!" Hundreds of protesters gathered in central Paris today to denounce the Turkish invasion of northern Iraq and the "deafening silence" of the international community in the face of the new military operation.

"Silence, they are bombing Kurdistan!"

The march was organized by the Kurdish Diaspora with the participation of the Armenian community of France.

"Turkish expansion under Erdogan is going on and it is a threat: we saw it in Syria, we saw it in Nagorno-Karabakh, we saw it in the eastern Mediterranean, we saw it in Libya. "The threat does not come from the Kurds," said Agit Polat, a spokesman for the Kurdish Democratic Council, which includes 26 organizations from the Turkish diaspora in France.

"It has been 72 days since this operation began and there is a deafening silence from the international community," he added. "We warn France, but also the UN: Iraq's territorial integrity is being violated by Turkey under the guise of the fight against terrorism, Turkey is trying to justify itself with this argument. "France must break its silence on Turkey."


So why just France?
