CAEN, France (AP) – €” President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy don’t see eye to eye on whether Turkey should be allowed to join the European Union.

Obama supports EU membership for the largely Muslim country. Sarkozy (sahr-koh-ZEE’) opposes it.

Obama says Turkey is an important NATO ally is helping with the war in Afghanistan. He says Turkey’s economy is growing and that the country wants closer relations with Europe — something Obama says he encourages.

Sarkozy says he supports Turkey’s integration into Europe, but that he and Obama disagree on how to achieve it.

The two leaders spoke at a news conference Saturday before D-Day celebrations in Normandy, France.

    Perhaps Mr. Sarkozy knows that: “Turks, when they are guest, 1st day, they are a guest, the 2nd day they are equal with the host, the 3rd day they turn out the host.

    I’m surprised Sarkozy has time to discuss stuff. Isn’t he too busy banging one model after another?
