/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Gerhard Schroeder, former German
Chancellor, said that the European Union ought to
support Turkey in its march towards EU membership. The
Turkish government is rightly asking for fair
treatment over the Cyprus question, said Schroeder,
and added that a fair approach to the issue would sort
things out. `Turkey projects political stability all
the way through Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. Turkey
could set an example for countries across the region.
That’s why Turkey should get support from the European
Union in its progress towards achievement of its
goals. Turkey is not in a position to beg for
membership to the European Union,’ said Schroeder,
