Reflecting on the EU-Turkey relations, the German Sudkurier daily
focuses on the factor of EU-Armenia ties as well.
"The EU is speaking with Armenia about the relaxation of visas, which
substantially discomforts Turkey. Certainly, Armenia's case is
different than that of Turkey, especially [since], [and] unlike
Turkey, Armenia is not an EU membership candidate. Nonetheless,
Armenia is having advantages over Turkey in the visa facilitation
issue," Sudkurier writes.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, Armenia's EU Head of
Mission, Ambassador Avet Adonts, and European Commission Home Affairs
Director General Stefano Manservisi initialed, on October 18 in

readmission. These accords are expected to be signed in December 2012
and to enter the ratification phase within the first six months of
2013.
