Turkey is excluded from France's warm embrace:

The majority of French people would oppose Turkey's accession to the EU if asked to vote on the issue today, according to a poll that again underlines the extent of popular hostility to the project across Europe.

The poll, by the IPSOS research group for Le Figaro newspaper, showed that 36% of French people were in favour but 56% were against the mainly Muslim country joining the 25-country union in the immediate future.

The French poll found that, of those who opposed entry now, 40% were most concerned by the impact of Turkish immigrants on the EU job market. Some 26% said their main objection was that Turkey is mainly in Asia, while 25% cited the fact that most Turks are Muslims.

Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, the architect of the new European constitution, summed up the position of many French conservatives when he said last year that Turkish membership would signal "the end of the EU". Turkey was "not a European country". It had "a different culture, a different approach and a different way of life", he said.

Not to worry, the ace in the hole is endless Euro-blather:

The European commission is expected to recommend in a long-awaited report next week that the EU opens accession talks with Turkey [As has every eminent European council since 1997.], although no decision can be made before EU leaders meet in December. Entry talks could then last for years, even decades.

Wisely or no, the Euros can keep their club as exclusive as they like, that's their business, all we ask is to be spared French pieties and that French vision thing.
