/PanARMENIAN.Net/ European Commission President Jose Manuel Barrozo urged to
«serious discussion» over Turkey’s membership in the European Union. In his
opinion, it was just the prospect of Turkey’s accession to the EU that
resulted in France and the Netherlands voting against the European
Constitution. The European Commission President urged EU member states to
respect their commitments and start talks with Ankara October 3. At that
Barrozo noted there are no guarantees for Turkey to become EU member
resulting from the talks, the Yerkir newspaper reported.
