    NEW EU COMMISSIONER URGES TURKEY TO CONTINUE NORMALIZATION WITH ARMENIA

    Turkey should continue its policy of "zero problems with neighbors" and
    also its efforts to normalize relations with Armenia, European Union's
    new enlargement commissioner Stefan Fule said at a press conference
    on March 15 in Ankara during his first official visit to Turkey.

    "I fully support the hard work of Turkey and Armenia turning a historic
    page and normalizing relations," Fule was quoted by Hurriyet Daily
    News & Economic Review.

    Asked to comment on the Armenian Genocide resolution recently approved
    by the Swedish parliament, Fule replied, "The commission does not
    comment on internal decisions of member states."

    However, he noted: "I know that sometimes politicizing history makes
    reconciliations difficult. I've made a point of support for the
    current stage of the relationship between Turkey and Armenia."

    In his words, the European Commission is ready to assist both Turkey
    and Armenia to carry out their responsibilities stemming from the
    protocols.
