The Eiffel Tower, which has become a global icon of France, was lit up with colors of Turkish flag under the ongoing “Season of Turkey” activities in France. The tower will be wearing Turkey’s colors (red and white) from 8:00 p.m. to dawn for five days
The Paris Municipality, earlier, decided to make a gesture to President Abdullah Gul during his visit to Paris by lighting up the tower with colors of Turkish flag from October 6 to October 11.
Turkish President Gul visited France on October 7 to attend opening of the exhibition “Istanbul through the Ages” at Grand Palais

I don't have a problem with a private building lighting up their building how ever they want to as long as they pay the electric bill but if it is a public building I would have to protest my tax money paying for it.

You mean to make it look like a turkey? That honor should be reserved for the Capitol building.

Don't worry. The Empire State Building was lit up to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Communist takeover of China. This happened a couple of weeks ago. I kid you not.

This is a little weird in light of Sarko’s adamant stand against letting Turkey into the EU.

Why is everyone wearing each other’s colours?

Multiculturalism and moral relativism combined with money.

So I guess the Empire State Building will be sure to follow.

I saw that - if only we would honor Iran and NK in such a manner, I’m sure they would be nicer...

Turkish President Gul visited France on October 7 to attend opening of the exhibition “Istanbul through the Ages” at Grand Palais... I wonder if that history will include when Istanbul was Constantinople; the center of the Christian Roman Empire.
