    Appearing on news channel NTV yesterday, European Union Commissioner
    for Enlargement Olli Rehn said that European Parliament decisions
    postponing approval of the additional protocol and pushing recognition
    of the so-called Armenian genocide for Ankara's EU membership wouldn't
    be obstacles to the beginning of Turkey's EU accession talks. Rehn
    stated that Turkey should fulfill the additional protocol as soon
    as possible, adding that not doing so would adversely affect its
    talks. He further stated that Ankara should take into consideration
    the EU's counter-declaration. In related news, Turkey-EU Joint
    Parliamentary Committee Chairman Joost Lagendijk criticized the EP
    decision postponing approval of the protocol, saying that it had sent
    the wrong message to Turkey.
