Makhon told Paris-based TV channel France-2, that the recent events in Turkey, where the requirements for European Union membership were required, are not helping to take this process forward.
Makhon said at a press conference after the bilateral meeting with the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, "Turkey's membership will result in a new horizon that will be pronounced false."
In spite of pointing to Turkey's political and economic upheaval in recent decades, Makhon told the country that the country was unable to subscribe to the EU block.
Meanwhile, Erdogan said Turkey was tired of waiting for the membership of the European Union for half a century. He said Turkey has been waiting for 54 years outside of EU. When the membership is refused, the EU can not explain why Turkey can not be accommodated there. '
