Istanbul, 10 May: Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
congratulated on Thursday Francois Hollande on his election as the
new president of France.
Prime Ministry sources said Erdogan called Hollande and congratulated
him on his success on Sunday's presidential election.
Socialist candidate Francois Hollande won the second round of the
French presidential election by gaining 52 per cent of the votes. He
is expected to take over the office from Nicolas Sarkozy on May 15.
57-year-old Hollande began his political career as the adviser to
Francois Mitterrand, who served as the president of France between
1981 and 1995.
Hollande, who supported the law criminalizing denial of Armenian
allegations regarding the incidents of 1915, has given the message
that he does no more welcome Turkey's European Union membership saying
that negotiations have prolonged for so long.
The French Constitutional Council has rejected the law criminalizing
denial of Armenian allegations.
