`LET TURKEY BECOME EU MEMBER'
[08:51 pm] 23 February, 2007
In 1992, the first Foreign Minister of Armenia, Raffi Hovannisian was
dismissed from office just after making his famous speech on the
Armenian Genocide. Mr. Hovannisian's opinion on the Armenian-Turkish
relations is much the same.
`The issues of the RA foreign policy, the Armenian-Turkish relations,
as well as the Karabakh conflict regulation no more depend on our
interior stance and democratic standards in Armenia. We cannot simply
knock at the doors of stronger countries and call for justice lest
those rights are ensured in our country'.
As for the Armenian-Turkish relations Mr. Hovannisian claims that
Armenia has always been a step ahead while expressing its readiness to
resume relations with Turkey without any preconditions. `It is Turkey
that missed the opportunity', adds Mr. Hovannisian. He welcomes
Turkey's intention to become a member to the European Union and hopes
that their intention will come true in the nearest future.
`Let Turkey settle its matters with all countries, including Armenia
and become the EU member'.
