    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Foreign Ministers of Turkey and EU Troika met
    in Ankara June 4 to discuss Turkey's EU bid, the problem of Cyprus
    and Northern Iraq as well as the domestic situation in the country.

    Turkish FM Abdullah Gul said Turkey is not going to recede from the
    EU bid.
