Primary Evidence

"Raised to the rank of commander of the Legion of Honor in July 2007, decorated at the hands of Nicolas Sarkozy, Bruno Lussato had his entree to the Elysée, thanks in particular to the chief of staff of the former president. If there is a geopolitical issue on which Bruno Lussato has tried to weigh, it is indeed that of opposition to the entry of Turkey into the European Union. With, as a corollary, his desire to rather prioritize strengthening relations with Russia, "a country and a people much closer to us culturally, and with whom a partnership would be more natural," he explained."
