Czech President Vaclav Klaus who arrived in Turkey on Tuesday
to attend the “Forum Istanbul” meeting, yesterday held a press
conference. Lending support to Turkey’s European Union membership,
Klaus pointed to Turkey’s cultural richness. “I’m against political
groupings, I support an open EU,” said Klaus. Concerning the
Armenian genocide allegations, Klaus called on Armenian officials
not to use historical events for political fodder. “Don’t play with
history, because you can’t change historical events,” said the Czech
president. /Star/
