Alwaght- Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has told on Tuesday that Turkey's European Union membership is "unthinkable".
Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy met with the German Chancellor in Berlin reaffirming his opposition to the country's bid for EU membership.
He also told reporters: "Europe needs leadership, Europe needs to take initiatives, and Europe needs new ideas."
Sarkozy has been always against the mainly Muslim nation membership in EU saying and Turkey does not belong to Europe.
Turkey is one of five countries in line to join up the European bloc, but there are fears that its 75million population would pile huge new immigration pressures on the EU.
David Cameron has said arguments made by the campaign to Leave the EU about Turkey joining the bloc were "simply not true".
When asked by an audience member in his last major TV appearance before the referendum if the UK would veto any attempt by Turkey to join the EU, the Prime Minister said it was the “biggest red herring in the whole of the referendum debate” and that “it’s not going to happen”.
He added: “I really feel strongly about this, as people are getting through their letterboxes leaflets from Leave saying ‘Turkey’s going to join the EU’ – not true, ‘there’s going to be a European army with Britain in it’ – not true, ‘we give 350 million pounds per week to Brussels’ – not true.”
