Sarkozy's remarks on Armenia -Turkey's EU minister says it will be
better if Sarkozy deals with EU's future instead of history
SARAJEVO (A.A) -Turkey's European Union (EU) minister and chief
negotiator said on Friday that it would be better if the French
president dealt with the union's future instead of history.
Egemen Bagis said Nicolas Sarkozy if Sarkozy worked on how his country
could come out of the economic turbulence instead of assuming the role
of historians, it would be more meaningful for France and Europe.
"If Sarkozy develops projects on the future of the EU, it will be more
meaningful for not only EU-member France but also world peace and
order," Bagis told reporters in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Hercegovina.
Bagis's remarks came after Sarkozy had said France could pass a law,
similar to that in Switzerland, which would support Armenian
allegations regarding the incidents of 1915.
"Sarkozy must have been frightened with the results of recent
political surveys in France so that he is assuming such approaches,"
Bagis said.
Bagis also said the duty of politicians was not to deal with history
and some incidents that occurred in the past, but to set the future.
