/PanARMENIAN.Net/ For the first time within the past years the
European Union Summit opening Thursday will not discuss the question
of Turkey’s accession. EU representatives said today, this is due
to the failure of the reforms over the European Constitution in
France and the Netherlands. Today the EU FMs adopted a protocol on
inclusion of Turkey in the customs union along with the EU 10 new
members, including Cyprus. As soon as Ankara signs the document, all
conditions for starting talks over Turkey~Rs accession to the EU on
October 3 will be met, the Yerkir newspaper reported.
