/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 11 parliamentarians of the Union for a Popular
Movement (UMP) which is the main French centre-right political
party adopted a statement on preventing membership of Turkey in the
European Union.

"Turkey’s membership will have a negative impact on the EU budget… To
preserve the borders and political existence of EU Turkey shouldn’t
be accessed to the Union," the statement says. "71 per cent of French
and 66 per cent of German citizens voted against Turkey’s membership
in the EU," it notes.

"Turkey bordering on Syria, Iraq and Azerbaijan can not be a member
of the European Union. Europe without borders will put an end to
European mentality. Turkey’s accession would be a great mistake,"
statement sys, APA reports.
