In the course of the plenary session that took place in Strasbourg
on Wednesday European parliamentarians ratified a resolution on the
beginning of talks on Turkey’ entry into the EU. 356 deputies voted
for the resolution, 181 against, while 125 refrained.

European parliamentarians stressed Turkey should recognize the
Armenian Genocide and Republic of Cyprus. The items have been fixed
in the resolution.

To note, Turkish Prime Minister Rejep Tayip Erdogan has repeatedly
stated Turkey does not intend to recognize Cyprus and is categorically
against any terms of its membership in the CE.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
