French president on Turkey's zero role in EU
18:20 - 07.10.11
Turkey is playing a great role in the world, but its role in outside
the European Union (EU), French President Nicolas Sarkozy stated at a
news conference held jointly with his Armenian counterpart Serzh
Sargsyan in Yerevan.
His stance on Turkey's possible membership in the EU remains
unchanged. Turkey plays the role of a bridge between the East and the
West, but, from the point of view of France, it has no role in the EU,
the French leader said.
As to the impact the latest elections to the French Senate may have on
this stance, President Nicolas Sarkozy said that the elections do not
bring about any changes in this respect.
