“I think that Turkey’s entrance EU coincides with our strategic
interests.

We must do our best to assist this procedure, as a result we can have a
democratic neighbor”, said today the leader of the Christian-Democratic
Union Khosrov Harutiunyan during the seminar on “Global and regional
democratizing context in South Caucasus”.

“Being the member of the Minsk group Turkey blocks our country, it
is a real danger for Armenia. The country that is a member of the
Minsk group is not entitled to realize suck kind of activities’,
said Kh. Harutiunyan.

On this point he also wonders, “Why our foreign affairs department
doesn’t raise a question to remove Turkey from the Minsk group?”. Even
in this case, the leader thinks that the danger from Turkey toward
Armenian security will not calm down. And more, it will remain for
a long period. /Panorama.am/
