I do not believe that Turkey belongs in Europe, and for a simple reason, which is that it is in Asia minor, Sarkozy said in a prime-time interview on TF1 and France 2 television. What I wish to offer Turkey is a true partnership with Europe, it is not integration with Europe, said the president, who recently appeared to have softened his opposition to Turkish membership of the European bloc.
