Arinc also asserted that it was no coincidence that the Armenian terror group ASALA was most active in France. The Speaker's comments came yesterday at a parliamentary meeting in Ankara. Arinc also reserved words for the upcoming 2007 presidential elections in Turkey:
"Do not listen to those who want to foment chaos and disorder in our country as the presidential elections draw nearer. Don't pay attention to those who want to scare you by intoning 'The country is being sold.'
