/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey should speed up the process of reforms for
joining the European Union, an expert said.
`Turkey has increased the number of laws meeting European standards
but it’s not enough. Having changed greatly since 1990-ies, Turkey
failed to settle its problems with Cyprus and Armenia,’ Riccardo
Serri, a member of European Commission, said during `Turkey-Armenia
Dialogue Series: Breaking the Vicious Cycle’ seminar in Yerevan.
`Furthermore, France, which holds presidency in the EU, opposes
Turkey’s bid,’ he said, adding that the Armenian-Turkish dialogue
could help Ankara overcome obstacles on the way toward the European
Union.
