/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Finland, which presides the EU at present, has
sponsored “crisis talks” to prevent failure of talks on Turkey’s
accession to the EU.
November 5-6 a meeting is expected with participation of
representatives of Turkey, Greece, as well as the Greek and Turkish
communities of Cyprus. Meanwhile, Finnish diplomats did not comment
on these reports, RFE/RL said. November 8 the European Commission
report on progress made by Turkey on the way to EU accession will
be presented. The document is expected to be critical of Turkish
authorities for not ensuring freedom of expression as well as failing
to end torture of prisoners and establish control over the army.
