PARIS (A.A) - Turkish lawmakers had a meeting with French president's adviser in Paris on Tuesday.  A delegation comprised of Turkish lawmakers, headed by Parliament Foreign Affairs Commission's Chairperson Volkan Bozkir, gathered together with French President Nicolas Sarkozy's diplomatic adviser Jean-David Levitte in the French capital.
