Abstract

Turkey and France, which have very deeply rooted relations, are two important partners in political, economic and cultural fields. Relations between these two important states have been badly wounded when Nicolas Sarkozy served as President. Sarkozy, who tried to influence the public to win the presidential elections, used foreign policy for this. Sarkozy, who is in promises of Turkey and Turke y-EU relations, has seriously damaged the relations between the two sides. On May 6, 2012, the presidential elections were lost and Sarkozy was left to the candidate of the Socialist Party, François Hollande. With Hollande's election as President, Turkey has waited for both Turkey-France relations and Turkey-EU relations to improve and develop. However, Turkey did not reach its own expected result. Even if Hollande became a member of the Socialist Party, he does not want to Turkey's EU membership a lot. It is seen that the intergovernmental act in the EU is effective and influences the decisions.
