BY JOINING EU, TURKEY LOSES CONTROL OVER ITS BORDERS – FRANCE’S AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA
Regnum, Russia

"I have no right to comment on a draft legislation adopted by the
French parliament lower house," Ambassador of France to Armenia Henri
Cuny told journalists about the legislation criminalizing public
denial of Genocide of Armenians in the Ottoman Turkey in 1915.
According to the Ambassador, Armenian society has in general highly
appraised adoption of the legislation that is regarded as a step that
makes Armenia "feel not so lonely." At the same time, he says, many
argue that the future of the country depends on improving relations
with Turkey, which could be achieved by way of dialog rather than by
direct conflict.
Henri Cuny said when meeting with students that once Turkey joins
the EU, the issue of its borders will be decided not by itself but
by the central EU headquarters in Brussels. "This is the order. And
entering the EU suggests open borders." The question is, when this
is to happen, says Cuny.
