French President Nicolas Sarkozy should bring an order in his country, but not give advice to Turkey about the so-called Armenian genocide, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday, TRT television channel reported.

"Sarkozy wants to use Turkey as a mean to improve his ranking in the country," Erdogan noted.

Visiting the memorial dedicated to the memory of victims of the so-called 'genocide' in Armenia French President Nicolas Sarkozy said France will take appropriate action unless Turkey recognizes the "Armenian genocide" by the end of 2011.

Earlier, Turkey's European Union Minister Egemen Bagis stressed that French President Nicolas Sarkozy must deal with internal problems of his country, and not act like historians.

Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu said last week that the statement of French President Nicolas Sarkozy might affect the Turkish-Armenian relations, which are quite vulnerable even now.
