Turkey"By making Turkey's Membership of the European Union contingent
on Turkey's acknowledgment of the genocide you have not only displayed
a great respect for the universal European values, but also with
your formal declaration have confirmed the overall superiority and
supremacy of our continental humanitarian constructs of Democracy
and Freedom intended ultimately to protect Human Rights, devastated
daily in the modern but backward looking State of Turkey, longing for
Ottoman domination and slavery of nations," President of the Assembly
of the Armenians of Europe Garo Hakopian wrote in a letter addressed
to Martin Schultz, President of the European Parliament.
The President of the European Parliament Martin Shultz declared
earlier that Turkey's integration into Europe is preconditioned by
the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, reiterating the body's
1987 decision.
"Turkey should recognize the Armenian Genocide and it would be
considered as a precondition to enter the European Union," said Shultz.
"We expect that the pan-European socio-political structures, albeit
late, but hopefully soon now, assume their historical responsibilities
against the horrendous holocaust perpetrated upon our nation by the
Ottoman State of Turkey, robbing it of its historical territories,
to finally see justice done by their return according to The Treaty
of Sèvres (10 August 1920," President of the Assembly of the Armenians
of Europe said.
