Opposition People’s Party (CHP) leader Deniz Baykal said yesterday
that Turkey had fulfilled its obligations on the road to European
Union membership. Speaking to the BBC on his trip to London to hold a
series of contacts to push Turkey’s EU membership bid, Baykal said that
Turkey had seen great changes in recent years. Regarding the Armenian
issue, the CHP leader said that the European Parliament’s demand for
recognition of the so-called Armenian genocide was a trap, adding that
that shouldn’t be a precondition for Ankara’s full membership. /Sabah/
