/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Turkey’s EU ambitions are a ‘curse’ for France, but
cooperation with East is fully acceptable," French President Nickola
Sarkozy stated. "If we speak of Middle East prospects, Turkey is a
prominent partner for France", said Boris Boillon, Sarkozy’s advisor
for North Africa and Middle East Affairs. "Turkey has a unique role
in the region. France is against Turkey’s EU membership, but that
doesn’t mean France and Turkey can’t be friends and allies outside
of the European project," he added.
French President has said several times that Turkey has no place inside
EU. His last statement in that regard was made during a meeting with
German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
