SARKOZY’S INTENTION TO HINDER FROM TURKEY’S MEMBERSHIP CAN BECOME
REASON FOR EU PARTITION, TURK HISTORIAN THINKS

ISTANBUL, MAY 14, NOYAN TAPAN. "Sarkozy in reality is not a Frenchman
by origin. He is a son of a family lived in the Ottaman lands, and in
opposite to it, is full of much hatred towards Turks." Doctor,
professor Yusuf Halacoglu, the Chairman of the Turkish Historic
Association made such a statement, commenting upon French President
Nicolas Sarkozy’s statements addressed to Turkey as well as made in
the direction of assisting adoption of the law making denial of the
Armenian Genocide a crime.

Yusuf Halacoglu drew attention to newly-elected President of France
Nicolas Sarkozy’s statements addressed to Turkey and, mentioning that
at the same time with Sarkozy’s being elected the President, a new era
will start in Europe, stated: "If Sarkozy does not refuse that idea
(to hinder from Turkey’s membership to the EU – N.T.), it is possible
that it becomes a reason for partition of the EU."

Halacoglu insisted that Sarkozy, instead of drawing forward the
interests of the country, is carried away by his feelings.
