/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The current rapprochement process between Yerevan
and Ankara and the South Cyprus issue have nothing to do with Turkey’s
EU process, Turkish President Abdullah Gul said. According to him, the
country experiences pressures by certain European forces which believe
that the processes above hamper Turkey’s efforts towards acceding to
EU.

As noted by the country’s top leader, Turkey would strive for
normalizing ties with Armenia notwithstanding the EU process.

`The Caucasus should not be a wall between the East and West. Frozen
regional conflicts should be resolved,’ BBC news quoted Gul as saying.
