Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said Turkey’s accession
process to the European Union will not be affected by today’s decision
taken in the European Parliament.

The EP earlier today decided in favor of a call for Turkey to recognize
the so-called Armenian genocide allegations and for imposing the
recognition as a pre-condition for membership.
