Nicolas Sarkozy was elected President, winning a clear victory over
his socialist rival Segolene Royal, gaining 53% of the vote with a
massive 85% turnout.

Mr. Sarkozy said the French people had chosen change and he would use
the mandate he had received to achieve it.

After the result was announced, there were minor clashes with
protestors in Paris and some other cities.

Let us remind that MR. Sarkozy minds Turkey’s entry into the European
Union. Besides, former Minister of Interior will not oppose to the
bill condemning the negation of the Armenian Genocide and ensures that
it will fight "against any negationnist approach in connection of the
Armenian Genocide." Supported by ADL Ramgavar, his leading councilor
is MP Patrick Devedjian.
