    Turkey should recognize Armenian Genocide to join EU

    11.05.2005 12:21

    YEREVAN (YERKIR) - It will take Turkey 15-20 years before it could
    join the European Union, French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier has
    said, according to an Armenpress report.

    He mentioned that the official acknowledgement of the Armenian
    Genocide by Turkey is essential for the EU membership. s bid for the
    EU is not the issue of today and not the issue of the referendum on
    the adoption of the European Constitution to be held on May 29,
    Barnier noted, but even if the membership negotiations open in 15-20
    years Turkey cannot join the EU without acknowledging the Armenian
    Genocide. He also added that that according to the French
    Constitution, a referendum on Turkey's EU membership should be held
    anyway.
