,,Today French authorities demonstrates an approach which is linked
not to the future generations but to the future elections’ declared

with disinformation’. He threatened Hollande that in case of such
policy he would not be on board for long and would follow Sarkozy’s
example,, Hollande would better not forget what happened to the
previous president’ declared Turkish Minister.

This was declared by the director of France’s presidential office Pier
