/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Each time the matter of talks on Turkey’s accession
to the EU is discussed at the European Parliament, the issue of
recognition of the Armenian Genocide is raised, Chair of the EU-Armenia
Parliamentary Cooperation Committee, Member of the European Parliament
(MEP) from France Marie-Anne Isler-Beguin stated at a news conference
in Yerevan.

In her words, it is impossible to imagine that a state can enter Europe
without recognizing a genocide fact and having a blocked border with
a neighbor. “We remind Turkey of the need to acknowledge the Armenian
Genocide and open the border and will always abide by this position,”
she emphasized.
