/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey should speed up the process of reform for its
integration into the European Union as a full-fledged member, said the
EU Commissioner for Enlargement.

`I would like to see Turkey more active in carrying out reforms
envisaged by its accession program,’ Olli Rehn told a conference in
Istanbul.

`Despite some negative elements the process is underway and talks will
include new provisions by the end of the current year,’ he said,
hailing Turkey’s Caucasus pact.

`The EU is pleased with Turkey’s position on the Caucasus, which calls
for participation of Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey and is
based on the OSCE principles,’ Rehn said, RIA Novosti reports.
