M. Shultz: `Turkey should recognize the Armenian Genocide and it would
be considered as a precondition to enter the European Union'
http://times.am/?l=en&p=12539
The President of the European Parliament Martin Shultz announced
Monday that Turkey's integration into Europe is preconditioned by the
recognition of the Armenian Genocide, reiterating the body's 1987
decision. Asbarez.com writes about this.
`Turkey should recognize the Armenian Genocide and it would be
considered as a precondition to enter the European Union,' said Shultz
whose remarks were posted on the official Web site of his Left Party
of Germany, which also welcomed the position. Shultz said that Turkey
must face its history.
The European Parliament leader made the statement during a meeting
with Turkey's European Integration Minister and Chief Negotiator
Egemen Bagis, who during a press conference later refused to answer
questions pertaining to the announcement and comments he made earlier
this year in Switzerland, effectively denying the Armenian Genocide.
The President of the European Parliament Martin Shultz stated about it
at the meeting with the Turkish State Minister and the Minister for
the EU Affairs and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bagis. They talked about
the official role of Turkey in Syria, visa issues and Turkey's
possible membership in the European Union.
Instead Bagis told reporters that Switzerland was not an EU member and
`I will not spend a single second to speak about issues, which do not
concern the European Union.'
