France votes in second round of presidential elections

French citizens are voting on Sunday in a second round of presidential elections, RIA Novosti reports.

The two candidates competing in the second round are François Hollande, an opposition leader of the French Socialist Party, and Nicolas Sarkozy, incumbent president and leader of the ruling Union for a Popular Movement. The first round of the presidential race in France ended on April 22.

Socialist Hollande is leading in the latest French opinion polls, with 52.5-53.5 percent of voters saying they intend to vote for him.

Experts believes that Hollande's victory will make Turkey's joining EU much easier, so Turkish politicians are looking forward to Sarkozy's defeat.
