/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Great Britain supports Turkey in seeking EU
membership, Sir Bryan Fall, special representative of Great Britain
at South Caucasus told a news conference in Yerevan.
According to him, Turkey, EU as well as the whole region will benefit
from it.
"London is trying to promote Turkey -EU negotiations; still, we realize
that the decision will not be taken soon. Armenian-Turkish border
has to be opened - it's a necessary, and, I believe, an unavoidable
step. Even if Ankara fulfills one of the conditions, the entrance
into EU will be a lengthy process," he emphasized.
Turkey has been negotiating its entrance into EU since 2005, the
main obstacle being Cyprus issue and Armenian-Turkish border, closed
since 1993.
