‘No politics’: French President Macron on Telegram founder’s arrest
Telegram on Monday said that "it is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform".
French President Emmanuel Macron is offering for France to mediate between the Iraqi government and Kurds seeking independence after a controversial referendum.
Macron made the offer after meeting Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi in Paris today in wide-ranging talks about French support for the fight against the Islamic State group and rebuilding Iraqi’s economy.
Macron said France and others are worried about the situation of the Kurds after last month’s referendum, and said France supports the stability and territorial integrity of Iraq.

He insisted on the importance of “national reconciliation and inclusive governance” that includes Kurds, “with whom France maintains close ties.”
Macron said dialogue “is the only path” and “France is ready to contribute actively to mediation.”
