Nicolas Sarkozy said he was "totally opposed" to the lifting of visas for Turkish citizens wishing to travel to the EU, while being interrogated by iTELE on the sealed agreement Friday in Brussels between the EU and Turkey on the issue of migrants.

"I am totally opposed to the lifting of visas for 80 million Turks," he told the party president Republicans.

"Finally!, Was he surprised.
It says Europeans need to redo Schengen Schengen that exploded, there is a (pressure) migration huge and the first decision that we would do is to abolish visas for a country of 80 million people who is not a member of the European Union? ".

"This is blackmail.
It does not make sense, "he pressed.
"Abolish visas for Turkish businessmen, I can perfectly understand, that removes visas for students, I can perfectly understand, but say 80 million Turks, now there more visas, it does not make sense. "

"I do not see the connection between the question of Syria and the migration of war refugees and (that) of the Turkish accession" to the EU, stressed Nicolas Sarkozy.

"Turkey is a bridge between Asia and Europe.
Turkey does not intend to join Europe, "he concluded.
