/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey-skeptic French President Nicholas Sarkozy
and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed Monday to
continue talks on Turkey’s accession to the European Union during a
meeting in New York where the two leaders were present for the United
Nations General Assembly meeting.

The two leaders discussed Turkey’s negotiations with the European
Union and the meeting was productive and comprehensive. No comments
were made to the press after the meeting.

Erdogan is expected to visit France in the coming months in order
to soften Paris’s stance towards Turkey’s EU bid. Known with his
objection to Turkey’s full membership, Sarkozy earlier proposed a
sort of privileged membership for Turkey.

Prime Minister Erdogan held a separate meeting with Portuguese Prime
Minister Jose Socrates who is currently holding the term presidency
of the EU. The two leaders discussed ways to speed up Turkey’s
negotiations with the EU, the Anatolia news agency reported.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
