"RESOLUTION IS EU PARADOX"
Sabah, Turkey
Nov 8 2006
Social democrat leader Bos who is anticipated to become the Prime
Minister of Holland in the election on November 22nd spoke to Sabah
about Turkey's road to the EU; and the Armenian genocide and law
preparations regarding this.
Wouter Bos stated that the issue of the Armenian Genocide is always
on the agenda of Turkey's relationship with the EU. Bos stated that
this issue can not be put forward as a preliminary condition to
Turkey. He said: "this issue which could not be solved for a century
should be discussed openly and confidently. Barristers should decide
the definition of genocide and whether it is planned and proven." The
French Parliament's accepting the legal bill of denial of genocide
is an approach opposite to the freedom of expression. While Turkey is
asked to take steps regarding human rights and freedom of expression,
one EU country accepts such a bill limiting this liberty; which is
a paradox for the EU. This, in turn ruins the dependability of the
European Union."
