GUL MEETS WITH POLISH FOREIGN MINISTER
Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul yesterday met with his Polish
counterpart Stefan Meller in Ankara. During their talks, the two top
diplomats discussed bilateral relations. At a press conference,
afterwards, citing the Polish Parliament's decision last year on the
so-called Armenian genocide, Gul conveyed Turkey's concern over the
matter. Stressing that the issue should be taken up by historians,
not politicians, Gul said the move could encourage Armenians. Turkey
has offered to Armenia to investigate the matter, but has so far
gotten no reply, added Gul. For his part, Meller stated that his
government's support for Turkey's European Union membership bid would
continue. /Turkiye/
