Majority of the French population opposes Turkey's joining the EU,
members of the European Parliament Alexander Graf Lambsdorff said in
an interview with Today's Zaman.
Commenting in anti-Turkish sentiments in French society ahead of
elections, Lambsdorff said one may hear about two issues: one related
to the Armenian question and the other to Turkey's possible European
Union membership.
"On the Armenian question, everyone knows what the discussion is about,
and on the EU accession, a clear majority of the French population,
not just the leadership, is against Turkey's accession.
So some politicians may choose to exploit those feelings by linking the
Armenian issue with EU accession, and therefore create an atmosphere
that makes it difficult for France and Turkey to rebuild a constructive
relationship," he said.
