Andolu Agency, Turkey

Chairman of the Turkish Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee and
a Justice and Development (AK) Party deputy from the north-western
province of Istanbul, Volkan Bozkir, said Tuesday that he found it
hard to understand French President Nicolas Sarkozy's recent remarks
on Turkey.
Speaking to the AA in Milan where he arrived for an international
conference, Volkan Bozkir said that he was disappointed by the remarks
Sarkozy made during a recent visit to Armenia.
Sarkozy's remarks could hurt Turkish-French relations, Bozkir said.
Touching on Turkey-EU relations, Bozkir said that it was out of
question for Turkey to hold talks with the Greek Cypriot administration
during their EU term presidency in the second half of 2012.
We will not hold talks with an entity that we do not recognize just
because they have assumed EU term presidency for six months, Bozkir
also said.
