Always fervent supporter of Turkey’s entry to the European Union,
former French Prime Minister, Michel Rocard, declared, on October 24,
to the "Grand Journal" on French network TV Canal+, that Europe needed
Turkey and the Soviet ex-Republics, in particular for energy reasons,
independent correspondent Jean Eckian informed.

Mr. Rocard indicated, however, that "it will be necessary that
Turkey regulates the Cyprus issue and recognizes the Armenian
Genocide." "Turkey knows," he said.
