/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Federal Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier
called not to question the talks on Turkey’s accession to the EU. In an
interview with Bild newspaper he said the goal of the talks is Turkey’s
full membership in the EU. These comments were caused by the recent
statement made by Bavarian Prime Minister Edmund Stoiber, who excluded
such possibility. Mr Stoiber pointed out to the economic situation
in Turkey and the difference in social and cultural traditions,
