Turkey has stopped insulting France and the European Union, but ties will remain fragile until concrete action is taken, Reuters reported quoting French FM Jean Yves Le Drian.

“There aren’t any more insults and the language is more reassuring,” Jean-Yves Le Drian told a parliamentary hearing late on Tuesday.

The withdrawal of Turkish research vessels from the Cypriot waters in the eastern Mediterranean and Ankara, showing a desire to resume negotiations with Greece, are positive signs, he said.

“It’s fragile, because the list of disagreements is very long, but we want a healthy relationship with Turkey,” he said pointing to differences over Libya, Iraq and Nagorno-Karabakh.

“Actions are needed and we will be able to position ourselves when those actions are carried out. For now it’s just verbal action,” he said.
