EU PARLIAMENT SAYS TURKEY MUST RECOGNIZE “GENOCIDE”
Tehran Times
Sept 29 2005
STRASBOURG, France – The European Parliament said on Wednesday that
Turkey must recognize the killing of Armenians under Ottoman rule in
1915 as genocide as a pre-requisite for joining the European Union.
The EU legislature also postponed a vote on Turkey’s extended customs
union with the EU in a potential last-minute snag for Ankara’s EU
entry talks, due to start next Monday.
The non-binding resolution on the Armenian issue is likely to anger
Turkey, which insists that the killings of Armenians were not a
systematic genocide.
