At this stage Turkey is not ready for EU membership, Poland’s
Ambassador to Armenia Zdislav Racinsky told reporters Monday.

“Turkey is not developed enough at this moment to join the EU,”
he said.

The Ambassador said Poland positively assesses Turkey’s aspiration
to join the EU and is for the enlargement of the European family.

“We are ready to support Turkey to implement reforms in accordance
with the European standards,” he highlighted.

Referring to Armenia’s chances for Euro-integration, the Ambassador
said the country can reach it. Though, before this it must ensure
freedom of speech, establish democracy and civil society.
