PRODI SPOKESMAN DENIES ARMENIAN BORDER CONDITION FOR TURKEY’S EU BID
The European Union Commission yesterday adamantly denied rumors that
the re-opening of the Turkish-Armenian border would be added as a
precondition to beginning Ankara’s EU membership discussions. Marco
Vignudelli, the spokesman for commission head Romano Prodi, said that
Prodi had said nothing that would lead one to believe that such a
condition would be placed on Turkey, calling such claims
categorically false. Vignudelli further stressed that the border
issue could only be resolved by dialogue between the two countries.
