/PanARMENIAN.Net/ European Parliament member Jacques Toubon harshly
criticized the speech Turkey's chief envoy in the accession talks made
in the European Parliament. Noting he did not understand anything
from Babacan's speech, the French Christian Democrat said Turkey
takes EU membership as granted, and that before talks could begin,
Turkey should meet certain requirements, including recognition of
Cyprus, Armenian Genocide and minority rights. Speaking to the Turkish
news agency ABHaber, Toubon said that by admitting Turkey in the EU,
the Brits would fulfill their old dream of free trade cooperation,
but it would result in European Union destruction. "Turkey has a
different concept of state and culture. Turkey does not belong in EU,"
Toubon indicated, Yerkir Online reports.
