    FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS EU WELCOMES TURKISH PRESIDENT'S VISIT TO
    ARMENIA


    Avignon, 7 September: EU term president France's Foreign Minister
    Bernard Kouchner said on Saturday [6 September] that Turkish President
    Abdullah Gul's visiting Yerevan (for Armenia-Turkey soccer game) was
    important in the aspect of re-establishing the contact between the two
    countries.

    Speaking to reporters after an informal meeting of EU foreign
    ministers in France, Kouchner said that the visit of Gul and Turkish
    Foreign Minister Ali Babacan to Yerevan should be considered beyond a
    soccer match. Kouchner added that EU welcomed the visit.

    Kouchner also said that the crisis in Caucasus was high on the agenda
    of EU foreign ministers meeting, adding that Babacan briefed the
    participants about Turkey's Caucasus Stability Pact proposal.
