Bundestag Chairman: Armenia has no prospects of joining the EU
Armenia has no realistic prospects of joining the EU, chairman of the
Bundestag Norbert Lammert said today, News-Armenia reported.
"We appreciate our cooperation with Armenia, its progress towards
integration with the EU must be developed, but I do not see any
realistic prospects for its accession to the EU for many reasons,"
Lammert said on Thursday while delivering a lecture at the Yerevan
State University.
While speaking about the EU's future, he touched on the EU's relations
with Turkey.
"I can speak about Turkey which has already started negotiations on EU
accession, however, I'm very skeptical about it," he said. The
question arises: can or must this goal be achieved? There is no
intelligible reason for EU expansion."
