Head of the European Parliament delegation to Armenia, Georgia and
Azerbaijan, parliamentarian Marie-Anne Isler-Béguin publicized the
materials gathered during her recent visit to the Turkish-Armenian
border.
The European Armenian Federation informs that according to the
representative of the Party of "Greens," the European Parliament
never missed the opportunity to emphasize the necessity of opening the
Armenian-Turkish border, since it’s not only the boundary population of
Armenia and Azerbaijan that suffer under the conditions of the closed
border, but also the region as a whole. Isler-Béguin underlined that
the question of opening the border should become a precondition for
Turkey’s accession to the EU.
At the same time, yesterday the Foreign Relation Committee of the
European Parliament postponed the vote on the draft resolution on
"Turkey’s progress toward accession" to September. The major reason
for delay was the late translation of the numerous amendments. These
amendments were submitted only on Monday afternoon to the various
political groups, which did not leave time to them to prepare for
the vote
