So much posts, so little knowledge.
It seems to me, that France (who has been invaded by none other than the Germans twice this century) would be sympathetic to Turkey's situation.
What the hell are you insinuating ? That Turkey is likely to be invaded by Iraq ? Not only this theory is completely absurd and fictitious, it also shows a great lack of information and knowledge about how international relations work in the Middle East.
PROTECT a fellow country from chemical and biological weapons
You should know Turkey has its weapons of its own, no need for NATO weapons.
maybe it's cos the turks are genocidal scum. they commited the first ever genocide against armenia in 1914 or 15 and they've killed a load of kurds like saddam, it's just they brown-nose america so get away with it.
1) Turks aren't genocidal scum any more. Show respect, please. Brits have been genocidal scum too.
2) The first ever genocide was Japanese (1905), although it's not mentioned nor reckoned by your occidental education.
As far as FR, DE, and Belgium go... they are a bunch of people that have their undies soiled by being in bed with iraq and their oil for the last decade, if they did not oppose this and other measures the dirt would come out.
European undies are soiled just the same way American ones are. Of you don't understand this, why don't you:
1) read the OPEC fundation chart ?
2) read the damn news about BP ? Do you know the US part of BP's initial budget and shares ?
Back to initial question. France, Germany and Belgium are not refusing any help to Turkey, which they are planning to accept in the European Union. What a paradox it would be if they were refusing help !
No, FR, GER and BEL are refusing to deploy armament, as "it would look too much like a preparation to war", to quote my own President M Jacques Chirac.
Plus, if you knew the history of your own country a bit more, you would knew that Turkey has bought anti-Patriot missile heads from the 70s to the US (because of the SALT treaties), and that those heads are still valid today.
