    EP TO VOTE ON TURKEY REPORT TODAY

    Turkish Press
    Sept 27 2006

    The full European Parliament is due today to vote a Turkey report
    prepared by Dutch Christian Democrat Camiel Eurlings. During
    yesterday's session, MEP Louis Michel said that recognizing the
    so-called Armenian genocide shouldn't be a precondition for Turkey's
    accession, adding that it wouldn't be appropriate to put forth new
    criteria. "We have to understand the importance of Turkey," said
    Michel. "Turkey plays a key role in the region." Michel added that
    the European Union needs Turkey for peace and stability.
