While Chirac did not speak to reporters after the meeting, his office released a statement saying he had told Erdogan that "Turkey's entry into the EU is desirable as soon as it is possible".
Chirac se nakon sastanka nije obratio novinarima, ali je njegov ured objavio priopćenje u kojemu se navodi kako je predsjednik Erdoganu kazao kako je "prijam Turske u EU poželjan što je prije moguće".
