Arriving on a visit to Ankara French leader Nicolas Sarkozy felt he is boycotted by the Turkish government at the airport.

The Turkish Hurriyet newspaper reported he was met only by Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Feridun Sinirlioglu and Ankara Mayor Melih Gokcek.

Prior to his visit Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he is disappointed that Sarkozy visits the country as the head of G20, not as the president of France.  

Erdogan stressed the length of 6-hour visit is far from reflecting the depth of Turkish-French ties.
