“At first look at yourself. Such leadership is impossible. Turkey is
not a piece which can be easily swallowed”

Baku – APA. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan commented
on ideas sounded by French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Armenia. APA
reports that Erdogan delivered a speech at the meeting of parliamentary
group of Justice and Development Party (AKP).

Touching on the statements of French President in Armenia, Turkish PM
strongly criticized Sarkozy: “Thinking of the forthcoming elections he
gives recommendations to Turkey. At first give the recommendations
to yourself, look at yourself. You speak differently in France,
differently in Armenia, differently in Turkey. Such leadership is
impossible. The policy demands correctness. Think of it at first”.

Erdogan said that Turkey was not a piece which can be easily swallowed:
“The state officialdom is a feature which demands not to think of
future elections, but future generations, not to polarize the people,
but unite them”.

Sarkozy said that France will take corresponding measures in case of
Turkey doesn’t recognize the so-called “Armenian genocide”.
