AGBU PARIS CO-SPONSORS CONFERENCE ON FRENCH EU CONSTITUTION VOTE
Paris France - On May 24, 2005, with the support of Le Conseil de
Coordination des Organisations Arméniennes de France (CCAF), AGBU
Paris and French publication Nouvelles d'Arménie co-sponsored a
conference delineating the pros and cons of the pending ratification
of the European Constitutional Treaty and the consequences of the
French referendum on the matter.
Two guest speakers, Sylvie Goulard, teacher and author of "Le Grand
Turc et la République de Venise" (The Great Turk and the Republic of
Venice), and Catherine Kessedjian, professor of European and
international law, debated topical issues including the impact of the
Constitutional changes on the building of a true, political European
Union (EU) and the admission of Turkey to the EU. Both Goulard and
Kassedjian advised that to prevail on the Turkish question, Armenians
must take an active political role in Europe, notably in Germany, and
in the upcoming 2005 French Presidential elections.
All 25 member states of the EU must unanimously approve the European
Constitutional Treaty prior to its taking effect. On May 29, 2005, 55%
of French voters rejected the Treaty.

heritage and culture through humanitarian, educational and cultural
