ARMENIA WELCOMES EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT\'S STANCE ON TURKEY, EU
By empty (12/17/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
In a 16 December statement, the Armenian Foreign Ministry hailed the European Parliament\'s call for Turkey to recognize as genocide the killings of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 and to open its borders with Armenia \"as soon as possible,\" RFE/RL\'s Armenian Service reported. Those demands were incorporated in a nonbinding resolution that the European Parliament adopted the previous day urging the EU to approve the start of membership talks with Turkey. But European Parliament President Joseph Borrell told journalists in Strasbourg on 15 December that those demands do not constitute conditions that Turkey must meet before membership talks begin.Visit also
