/PanARMENIAN.Net/ For the first time in history, a Turkish citizen of
Armenian decent may be appointed to the post of expert in EU General
Secretariat under Minister for EU Affairs Egemen Bagis.

Among 115 contenders, Leo Suren Alepli was elected for the post. In
case of passing his exam, he may become Turkey’s public servant on EU
Affairs, Turkish Hurriyet reports. "But the last word," the newspaper
says, "will rest with Turkish intelligence services which will conduct
an oral interview with Leo Suren."

In case of receiving approval, Leo Suren Alepli will be the first
non-Turkish citizen to hold a public post.
