Instead, he reportedly pushed the politicized Turkish Immigrants who had gathered there, (a Minority, compared to the 75.000 Turcs registered only in Strasbourg's regional Consulate), to impose "Multi-Culturalism" inside Europe, to which are notoriously opposed several mainstream EU Political Leaders, including German Chancelor Angie Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, etc., as well as, in general, all those who support, on the contrary, to foster Immigrants' Socio-Cultural Integration in European Society and to  strengthen the Popular Conscience of a Common European Identity and Values.

That Issue has become, Today, even more Important than in the Past, inter alia, also because of an Unprecedentes "Tsunami" of many Hundreds of Thousands of Irregular Immigrants and Asylum Seekers through Turkey, which would reportedly attempt to Exploit that Massive Influx, in order to Push for More "Visas" to Turkish Immigrants, even more EU Funds to Turkey, and/or a Green Light for a Turkish Army-controlled "Corridor" violating Syria's (and/or Iraq's) Territorial Integrity.

Even if the Orgaizers' anounced aim to gather "30.000" Turkish Immigrants from various European Countries, they reportedly Failed with "Only" some 12.000 poiticized Turkish Immigrants ; I.e. a Minority compared to the 75.000 Turcs registered as Voters just in Strasbourg Region's Consulate Nevertheless, that Massive Move inundated the South-Western Suburb of the City, "Haute-Pierre", which has a Total Population of about 15.000 Inhabitants, mainly Migrants from various other Countries, but has recently been seen a Rapid Growth of Islamisation, with 2 Local Mosques prepared, a Turkish School for Imams (all Appointed by the Turkish Government, and Not Elected by a Religious Community, as it has been observed in ECHR proceedings), etc., without any Jewish Synagogue or Boudhist Temple, but only 2 Small Christian Churches, of which, the Tiny Protestant Temple faced Repeated Aggressions a few Years ago, (f.ex., attempts to Burn it down, Candles and/or Religious Tissues Vandalized inside, even Bible Teared up, etc), while the Catholic Church was, almost simultaneously, obliged to set up a Closed Metalic Fence around it, for the 1st Time in 45 Years, after Many long-time European Inhabitants were, one after the other, recently pushed to Leave that Suburb and go Elsewhere...

At Down-Town Strasbourg's Central "Place Kleber" Square,  at least 1.500 Counter-Demonstrators reportedly Denounced mainly the Turkish Government's contempt against Human Rights, Freedom of Speech and Democracy, accusing it also to push towards a War-like Conflict in the Kurdish Minority Problem, instead of Peace, and to be an "Accomplish of ISIL"'s Extremist Islamic Terrorists' atrocious BeHeaders.


ISIL has notoriously emerged mainly from Turkey's Borders to Syria and Iraq, and continues to use Turkey as a "Transit" for Recruitment of Djihadist Fighters, Smuggling of usurpated Oil/Gas, and Weapons' illegal purchase.

Shortly before that, among Edrogan's Critics, even a Turkish Journalist, Editor of the richest Media of Turkey's Establishement : Hurriyet, who used tio be accompagnied by a Driver and a Body-Guard, was reportedly Attacked by 5 Thugs on his way back, right in front of his Family Home, hit and obliged to be Hospitalized, following recent Threats by a pro-Government Journalist who had warned him that he would be "Crushed like an Insect"....

Meanwhile, the Offices of the pro-Kurdish "People's Democratic Party"(HDP) which had won 13% in the latest Elections were reportedly Attacked by Violent extremist Turkish Mobs who Destroyed their equipments, without any efficient protection of the Victims from the Turkish Police. After the multiplication of such Aggressions, HDP's Leader Selahatin Demistas, called for Europe to carefuly Monitor the current Pre-Electoral period in Turkey in order to Help Prevent more Anti-Democratic Violence, as he stressed Earlier this Week in Strasbourg at a COE's side-event, where he had been Invited by the President of the PanEuropean Organization's Parliamentary Assembly's EuroLeft Group of MEPs, Dutch Senator Tiny Cox, who spoke later on such Topical issues with "EuroFora".

A Cold-Blood Murder of 3 Dissident Women of Kurdish origin, committed in Paris, France, by a Gunman who intruded in their House Offices  on January 2013, still remains officialy unelucidateted, and nobody among the Perpetrators and/or Istingators hasn't yet been Neither Found, Nor Punished, Contrary to ECHR's established case-law which asks the Contrary, in order to Protect the Human Right to Life, and despite an Audio Tape published at the Internet, which would reportedly reveal that the Killer was, in fact, recruited by the Turkish Secret Services.

One of those 3 Murdered Women Murdered in Paris on January 2013 was living in Strasbourg's  "Haute-Pierre" Suburb, where Turkish President's Fans gathered Today (10/2015), only Months after Flags asking for "Justice" to be done by Ending Impunity on that Triple Killing's 3rd Anniversary, had joined Huge French Demonstrations against another Cold-Blood Killing in Paris, on January 2015, in the World Famous ISIL Terrorists' Deadly Attack against "Charlie Hebdo"'s Critical Journalists and Civilian Jewish People by 3 Gunmen, (See original "EuroFora's relevant Photo fromb those Popular Demonstations in Strasbourg).

 Recently, bloody Clashes re-started again inside Turkey, mainly around its South-Eastern areas, of predominantly Kurdish Population, after an unprecedented Terrorist Attack which killed Dozens of Civilians, young boys and girls, volunteers ready to Help ReBuild the Syrian-Kurdish City of Kobane, notoriously attacked by ISIS' atrocious BeHeaders Terrorists since a Year :

A Massacre for which ISIL claimed, indeed, the responsibility, while the Kurds blaimed  the Turkish "Deep State", triggering a growing series of Deadly Violent Attacks between the Turkish Police and Army from one side, and Kurdish Demonstrators and the PKK, from the other side, a long Peace process on the Kurdish issue and a Ceasefire deal having, meanwhile, ceased to exist.

But things become even more Nasty when one sees that Erdogan reportedly accused all the Arab Countries which had been in the Past Invaded and Occupied by the former Ottoman-Turkish Empire, mainly during Medieval Times, to have Fallen in a "Chaos" sice they had recovered their National Independence and Freedom after the Withdrawal of the Ottoman-Turkish Military Troops at the Beginning of the 20th Century : A move which, obviously, Fits the Denonciations, by various Critics, of the Turkish President's so-called "Hegemonic" visions over many Neighbouring Countries...

Astonishingly, Today's Controversial  Mass gathering of more than 10.000 Turkish Immigrants supporters of Mr. Erdogan's Islamic Party, had been ...Refused in Brussels, but authorized only in Strasbourg, (even if Far Away from the Area of European Institutions, at the Other Side of the City, where EU Parliament starts its October I Plenary Session Tomorrow, Monday). A Fact which, as several Media reported,  Raises Critical Questions.


According to some Press Reports, (f.ex. by "RTBF", etc), the Turkish President's Controversial venue in Strasbourg's "Haute-Pierre" Suburb, together with more than Ten Thousand politicized Turkish Immigrants,  at the Eve of an Exceptionaly Important EU Parliament's Plenary Session here, where, inter alia, French President Hollande and German Chancelor Merkel are due to participate at a Unique Joint Debate with MEPs later this week, "might have anOther Aim: To Meet certain Lobbying or Pressure groups"...

The Future will say whether this might include any  Turkish Influence Networks inside the EU Parliament and/or CoE, or not, Starting by the Following Days.

    The recent paradox of freezing EU Talks with front-runner Croatia, while continuing controversial EU - Turkey talks, despite Zagreb's acceptance of Refugees' Human Rights to return, that Ankara refuses fex. in Cyprus, while both have "Good Neighborhood" problems vis a vis Slovenia, or Greece, Cyprus and Armenia respectively, can it be justified by the non-fullfilment of EU criteria, as Slovenia says, or, is it "Double Standards" ?    

The question became unavoidable after statements by Presidents of Slovenia and Croatia, Tuerk and Mesic, respectively, to "EuroFora", exclusively or among Strasbourg's journalists this week at the CoE, on the sidelines of its 2009 Summer University for Political Schools, which topically brought them together as successive key-note speakers.


    Comming only a few Months before EU checks Turkey's compliance to its commitments on Cyprus, etc., scheduled for December 2009, this obviously has a special importance for the coherence of EU Enlargement's principles.

     Suspension of EU Negotiations is a normal consequence in case of a Candidate Country's failure to fullfil EU Conditions, such as "Good Neighborhood relations", stressed at first Slovenian President Danilo Tuerk, current CoE's chair.

    But, regarding EU's Criteria,  there shouldn't be any "Double Standards",  reacted Croatian President Stjepan Mesic, commenting the fact that Turkey's controversial EU negotiations continue, while they were recently "freezed" in the case of Croatia, an "unquestionably European Country", which oficially accepts to respect Refugees Human Rights, contrary to Ankara's notorious refusals or reluctance.                                       

imag0475_400
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           - "EU itself has set as a Criterium (for EU Enlargement) the "Good Neighborhood relations",  and their absence justifies the "Suspension" EU Negotiations, (f.ex. with Croatia), because of a Border dispute affecting the territorial integrity of an EU Member Country, stressed Slovenian President, Danilo Tuerk, CoE's Chairman in office (May - November 2009), speaking to Journalists in Strasbourg including "EuroFora".    

Questioned earlier what "consequences on EU's Enlargement policy" can have the "Ban on EU Membership Negotiations", imposed to Croatia, Tuerk replied that "this question comes down to the fulfillement of (EU) Criteria for membership. One has to look at each Candidate Country ., from the point of view whether it fullfils the Criteria that EU has set. One of them are Good Neighborhood Relations, I'd like to remind. And also, there are other factors, such as Justice, Home affairs, Rule of Law, and others".


    - "Now, ..Candidate Countries are at Different Levels of fulfillement of Criteria", he observed.

    - " Croatia is obviously the closest to that. I'm rather optimistic : I think that in the coming Months we'll have an opportunity to look at all these issues constructively and hopefully we'll be able to make progress". "My main concern, at this point, is the situation in Bosnia : We haven't seen enough progres domesticaly. We haven't seen enough during ..political parties within their country.We need a New Energy, a new energetic move towards the Candidature for EU membership. "Other (Western Balkan) Countries (Serbia, Montenegro, FYROM, Albania) have been making soaring Progress, and I think that they should be ready, in a few Years, for the Candidate status".

    - "As far as the Western Balkans are concerned, .. nobody should be left outside" the EU, Slovenian's President concluded, ommitting to mention Turkey's controversial EU bid.

    - "This process may be seen as Slow, but..  Slovenia has also has also been exposed to various "Booms of Slowness" in our accession period. But now we can say that the process was relatively quick, because changes which occur after becoming EU member, are quite large, and they require proper Preparations before the (EU) membership becomes a new factor, an impacting line for a new (EU) member country".
----------------------------

EU "Solidarity" ?
------------------------------   

Slovenian statements made some participants from certain 3rd Countries as FYROM, etc. claim that "the Principle of EU Solidarity" would "produce a.. rising European Union Nationalism (sic !), against Non-EU Countries", as they said, asking unhappy foreign countries to form a "bloc" to exert pressure on the EU...    

But Croatian President Stjepan Mesic dismissed that, supporting "EU Integration", "after the Economy also in Political" issues, as "the achievement" of our times. In EU there is "diversity, but it's United", he stressed, "EU has to be United so that it can become a central factor of Peace" also at the surrounding areas, he replied.

Speaking later exclusively to "EuroFora", the experienced twice President of Croatia, former President of the International "Non-Aligned" movement, denounced "Double Standards" in the way EU treats recently Croatia compared to Turkey :   

 - "I think that there shouldn't be Double Standards", stressed the Croatian President, in reply to a Question comparing the freeze of EU - Croatia talks, with the continuation of EU - Turkey talks, despite the fact that Croatia is an "unquestionably European country", while Turkey's EU bid is notoriously controversial.


    Mesic was reacting to the observation that, even if he confirmed his "respect of Refugees' Human Rights to return, etc. (See infra), nevertheless, EU talks are suspended with Croatia.. While for oher, controversial candidates, who refuse to respect Refugees' Rights to return, etc., as fex. Turkey does in occupied Cyprus and elsewhere, EU negotiations continue".

    - "I believe that Croatia's accession will confirm that all European Countries who fulfill all of the Conditions and achieve European Standards, have to join the EU. There shouldn't be any Double Standards", went on to add in reply President Mesic.

    In this relation, Croatia's President found "of paramount importance", CoE's "mechanisms enforcing ECHR's judgements"
    
    - "On Refugees and Displaced persons, the process will be completed only after the last person demanding to return will be allowed to do so !", President Mesic Croatia stressed earlier, setting a general standard of obvious importance also for otherr candidates, as f.ex. Turkey, often accused to exclude or heavily restrict Greek Cypriot Displaced persons' return to their Family Homes and ancestral land, provoke difficulties to Turkish-Kurd IDPs return to their home regions at the South-East, etc.

    Some "2.000 People are still reported Missing" in former Yugoslavia, for some Years, (as in Cyprus, modern Europe's oldest case, for 3 Decades. Nagorno-Karabach, Tcecnya in Russia, etc, more recently), and Investigations "will only be completed after establishing the fate of the last one of them", he added.
    
    Speaking earlier on "War Crimes", President Mesic stressed that "Leaders are responsible for (the) Wars (of the Past), not the People", and called against Impunity :  "Individuals have to be held Responsible for Crimes. International Penal Tribunals have to persecute those individuals", perpetrators of War Crimes, he underlined.

    Such statements naturally made Mesic rather popular at ECHR, whose President, French EuroJudge, Professor Jean-Paul Costa, looked particularly smiling when he welcomed him later on Wednesday afternoon, after Slovenian President Daniko Tuerk earlier this week.
