The fact that the president of France has been received in Turkey
without the proper homage is not a grave deed, according to Hilda
Choboyan, head of the Armenian Cause Committee of France. She said
today in an interview with Armenpress that those events did not evoke
a keen response in France. "It was mainly connected with the serious
inner and outer political changes in France," Hilda Choboyan said.
In particular, she noted the fact that the ministers of internal
and forign affairs have been replaced. She added that the Armenian
community of France is satisfied with the fact that the failure of
Turkey's membership to the EU is a matter of principle for Nicolas
Sarkozy because of the "the insuperable cultural differenices between
the two civilizations". According to Hilda Choboyan, the Socialist
Party is for Turkey's recognition of the Armenian genocide before
its membership to the EU. Alain Juppe was appointed today minister of
foreign affairs of France. Alain Juppe said in his 2009 interview to
"Le Figaro" that he is against Turkey's membership to the European
Union.
