Armenian parliament to mull country's failure in EU
Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
Dec 22 2004
The special session of the Armenian parliament to be held on Friday
has sparked confusion among the public.
Although the Armenian authorities explain the move with discussion
of several current issues, the local press have reported that the
public don't believe in it. According to the Armenian press reports,
opposition circles relate this step by President Robert Kocharian to
withdrawal of the issue on recognition of the "Armenian genocide"
by Turkey for this country's admission to the European Union (EU)
from the agenda of the last session of the organisation.
Member of the "Justice" bloc Sh. Kocharian has told the local press
that the fact that the EU has not raised the issue on recognition of
the "Armenian genocide" in front of Turkey testifies to weakness of
the Armenian authorities.
Although the Armenian President's administration has not officially
elaborated the reasons of the special parliamentary session, the
opinions by the country's opposition leader disclose the genuine
sense of the upcoming gathering.*
