    EU URGES TURKEY TO NORMALIZE RELATIONS WITH ARMENIA

    The EU and Turkey will gain from closer ties, given their mutual
    dependence, Turkey's economic potential and its role as a strategic
    player in the region, says the foreign affairs committee in a
    resolution adopted by a large majority on Thursday. However, it calls
    on Turkey to settle the Cyprus, Armenia and Kurdish issues and for
    progress with judicial reform and the protection of civil liberties.

    The committee "insists that Turkey's relations with neighbouring
    EU member states are a key factor in revamping negotiations and
    dialogue". It "strongly supports the ongoing negotiations on Cyprus
    reunification" and asks Turkey to begin withdrawing its forces from
    Cyprus and comply with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

    It regrets Turkey's statements that it will freeze relations with the
    Cyprus Presidency of the EU if the Cyprus issue is not resolved by
    the second half of 2012. It also urges Turkey and Armenia to normalize
    their relations.
