/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Defense Minister comes for Turkey’s
accession to the EU, Secretary of the Security Council at the Armenian
President, Defense Minister Serge Sargsian stated. In his words, it
fits the interests of Armenia itself, as official Ankara will have
to hold reforms both in the domestic and foreign policy. Armenia,
as a participant of the EU Wider Europe: New Neighbors program,
cannot have close borders with an EU member state. Serge Sargsian
again accentuated that Armenia has to resume relations with Turkey
without any preconditions, however it does not mean Turkey should
not recognize the Armenian Genocide.
