    FRENCH MPS CONDEMN SENATE FOR DROPPING MEASURE REQUIRING REFERENDUM ON TURKEY'S MEMBERSHIP IN EU

    French MPs prepared a statement condemning the French Senate for not
    passing a constitutional amendment that would have put Turkey's future
    EU membership to a referendum.

    "England held a referendum in 1972. Can you imagine that we behave
    differently as regards Turkey, Russia, Morocco or Ukraine," the
    statement said, Anatolia News Agency reports.

    On June 26, France's Senate dropped a measure from a proposed law that
    requires a referendum on Turkey's membership in the European Union. It
    was one of the most sensitive parts of a broader institutional
    reform package going through the French Parliament and required a
    referendum before France could approve EU membership for any country
    whose population exceeds 5 per cent of the population of the entire
    27-nation union.
