    PARTIES MAKE HARSH STATEMENTS AT TURKEY-EU JPC MEETING

    The parties made harsh reactions at the 54th meeting of the Turkey-EU
    Joint Parliamentary Commission.

    The EU wing stated that reforms slowed down in Turkey, criticized
    postponement of an Armenian conference and made criticisms that Chief
    Negotiator Ali Babacan did not attend the meeting.

    The Turkish delegation reacted to such a manner which was described as
    "giving lesson".

    Co-President Joost Lagendijk said there were statements that few
    progress was recorded in Turkey, noting that, "it seems the momentum
    before December 17th has changed. Do you think of maintaining the
    reform process?". As to the Armenian conference, Lagendijk said,
    "I was very pleased when I first heard about the conference. I hope
    this is not a cancellation but a postponement."
