/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The probability of Turkey’s membership at the EU is
very high, Turkish expert Gultekin Burcu told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter in Yerevan. In her words, firstly economic reforms are
necessary. «However, these should be in line with human rights and
freedom of expression reforms, reconsideration of some articles of the
Criminal Code. I am an optimist however and I believe that Turkey is
on a right way,» she noted.
At that she underscored that economy underlies everything. «If
countries of the region understand that trading is more profitable
than fighting, solution of conflicts may become a bit closer. I do not
say that development of economic ties is a panacea for all problems,
but these are necessary,» Gultekin Burcu stressed.
