/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey should recognize the Armenian Genocide
and alleviate the burden at last, European Parliament rapporteur
for the South Caucasus Per Gahrton stated in Yerevan at the
conference on the subject of “Enlarged Europe – New Neighbors:
Armenia’s expectations”. In his words, this year the EU confirmed
its commitment and again urged Turkey to recognize the Armenian
Genocide. It is naive of Ankara to deny the Genocide as the Istanbul
courts at their time sentenced to death the Turkish politicians, who
had organized the genocide of Armenians, EP member said. “Where would
today’s Germany find itself if hadn’t acknowledged the Holocaust? Not
in European structures anyway”, Per Gahrton noted. At the same time
the parliamentarian spoke for Turkey’s admission to EU, what, in
his words, will contribute to the settlement of regional problems,
the opening of the Turkish-Armenian border, in part.
