    TURKISH PM ADDRESSES EUROPE ON THE EVE OF EU SUMMIT

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 6. ARMINFO. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
    Erdogan sent an address to Europe on the eve of the Dec 17 EU summit
    which is to decide when to start the talks for Turkey's admission
    into EU, reports Zaman commenting on the opening of Armenian Museum
    in Istanbul.

    The source says that Erdogan personally inaugurated the museum situated
    in the Armenian St Savior hospital. "This museum is inside my heart,
    this is a museum of humanity," he said noting that all Turkey's ethnic
    minorities are "the country's original elements." "We are the sons of
    this country and have lived in peace and security for centuries. We
    are compatriots and should and will care for each others interests."

    The Armenian children's chorus Lusavorich performed the national
    anthem of Turkey during the opening.

    To remind, the first floor of the St Savior hospital, founded 172
    years ago by Sultan Mahmud II, has been turned into a museum telling
    the history of the hospital and Armenians living under Ottoman Rule,
    particularly portraits of Armenians holding different posts at the
    time, medical instruments, antiquities.

    The director of the hospital Sedrak Tokat says that the goal of
    the museum is to "correctly present Armenian-Turkish relations to
    the generations to come." Tokat is concerned about "the statements
    by the Armenian Diaspora in the US and Europe." He says "Armenians
    live freely in Turkey - otherwise there would be no such event." "We
    wholeheartedly wish Turkey's membership at EU," says Tokat.-
