    Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Deniz
    Baykal claimed yesterday that French President Nicolas Sarkozy asked
    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan not to take his wife to
    France during an official visit due to her attire [headscarf].

    Later Baykal's press office clarified Baykal had made a mistake and
    it went about not the French President-in-office Sarkozy but former
    President Jacques Chirac.

    According to Turkish Zaman, Turkey's government has spread an official
    message claiming Baykal's statement has nothing to do with the reality.

    Turkish Embassy to France also rejected the information. The Ambassador
    recalled that President Gul and PM Erdogan took their wives to France
    on their recent visits.
