YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 29, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. “We appreciate
the decision of the European Parliament, it’s quite a natural one:
if Turkey wants to become a member of the European Union it should be
like other EU countries that’s to accept and watch its past openly,”
Vartan Oskanian, the RA Foreign Minister stated at the September 29
press-conference commenting upon the September 28 resolution of the
European Parliament.

To recap, in the process of the enlarged session, the European
Parliament postponed studying of the issue on starting negotiations
on Turkey’s membership to the EU, instead of this, adopting a
resolution on calling on Ankara to recognize the Armenian Genocide
in Ottaman Turkey. The given proposeal was supported by the majority
of parliamentaries.
