    European Commission On Suspension Of Armenian Conference


    BRUSSELS - The suspension of a conference entitled ''Ottoman
    Armenians during the Empire's Fall'' will be reflected in the
    European Commission's regular progress report on Turkey (to be
    released on November 9th), said Commission spokeswoman Krisztina
    Nagy.
    During her regular press briefing, Nagy said that the Commission
    strongly deplored this attempt, and noted that the suspension
    illustrated the difficulties of Turkey, and in particular of the
    judiciary.

    Stressing that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's and
    Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul's statements on this development were
    noted down, Nagy said the timing of this decision the day before the
    opening of the conference seemed like yet another ''provocation''.
