YEREVAN, 27.10.08. DE FACTO. Always a fervent supporter of Turkey’s
entry in European Union, former French Prime Minister, Michel Rocard,
declared, on October 24, to the microphone of the Â"Grand JournalÂ"
on French network TV Canal+, that Europe needed Turkey and the
Soviet ex-Republics, in particular for energy reasons, an independent
French journalist Jean Eckian told DE FACTO. He however indicated,
"It will be necessary well that Turkey regulates the Cyprus issue
and recognizes the Armenian Genocide". "Turkey knows", he said.

difficulties of condemning France of Vichy".
