France Ambassador to Turkey Paul Poudade has been to Isgenderun city of Hatay region.

The head of municipality Mete Aslan criticized the ambassador. Paul Poudade said that Turkey has lots of home tasks to do and this process will be too difficult for them to be admitted to EU membership and it infuriated Mete Aslan.

I want Turkey not to be admitted to EU and the last signals coming from EU are signs for it," Mete Aslan said.

Afterwards he touched upon the question of false Armenian genocide, APA reports.

"Turkey did not commit genocide to Armenians. Europe knew about massacres commited by Armenians in Azerbaijan, but did not take measurers. EU observes Turkmen's genocide while defending Kurds in Iraq," he added.

After these words the ambassador asked the journalists to leave the room and they had closed talks. After the meeting Aslan said Europe wants to separate Turkey.

He stressed that the monument to Turkish genocide committed by Armenians will be erected in Isgenderun.
