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.
