Strasbourg. Fuad Gulubayli-APA. British Prime Minister David Cameron
delivered a speech at today's plenary session of PACE, APA reports.
Answering questions after a speech to members of the Assembly, David
Cameron also expressed his attitude to the decision of the French
Senate to criminalize denial of the "Armenian genocide". The Prime
Minister said that the French Parliament is free to make a decision,
but noted that this decision could have a negative impact on relations
with Turkey: "Naturally, in the past, Armenian people survived the
tragedy and we should talk about it. But today we do not have to live
in the past; we must pay attention to today's problems. I think today
on contrary the EU and Turkey should establish a closer relationship.
At a time when we are fighting against terror, on the background of
positive processes in the Middle East, we should think more about how
we can live together. Muslim Turkey is playing a important role. On
the contrary, it is necessary to ensure that Turkey could be admitted
to the EU. Relations between Turkey and UK are very strong and I'm
sure they will become even stronger. "
