PRODI SEEKS RE-OPENING OF TURKISH-ARMENIAN BORDER
Romano Prodi, the top official of the European Union Commission, said
yesterday that he wanted to see the long-closed Turkish-Armenian
border re-opened. During a tour of southern Caucasus countries, Prodi
hold a press conference alongside Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan
Oskanyan. The EU commissioner stated he was not neglecting the issue
of opening borders as a precondition for Turkey’s EU membership.
`Personally, I don’t like the closed Turkish-Armenian border and the
absence of political relations between these two countries,’ said
Prodi. He added that he was ready to contribute to efforts to open
the border. /Turkiye/
