/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Burak Ozugergin
denied allegations that Turkey reached consensus or an agreement with
France to form a partnership alternative to EU membership.

Ozugergin told reporters that Turkey’s accession process to the EU was
an integral part of Turkey’s relations with France, replying to news
suggesting that bilateral relations with this country was independent
from the EU membership.

"Therefore such an agreement with France as mentioned in recent news
has always been and will be out of the question," said Ozugergin, AA
