/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The EU has no clear policy in respect to
Armenia-Turkey relations," Stepan Safaryan, head of the parliamentary
faction "Heritage" told a news conference in Yerevan today.
According to him, the European Union is diverse – politically,
economically and culturally. According to Stepan Safaryan, such a
policy could supplement an asymmetry in the relations between Armenia
and Turkey and Armenia would be able to introduce certain issues
between Armenia and Turkey to the European agenda.
Speaking of prolonging the process of ratification of the Protocols
of the Armenian-Turkish Turkish Parliament and the reaction of the
EU, Stepan Safaryan said that Turkish authorities explained to the
European institutions the delays with ratification of Protocols by
their attempts to find consensus with the opposition to avoid internal
political destabilization.
