/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The foreign policy Turkey has initiated in the
region does not abate the need for reforms, a European official said.
"The heart of EU accession is not strategy, but democracy," said Joost
Lagendijk, the head of the Turkish-European Union Joint Parliamentary
Committee.
Lagendijk said the European Parliament’s forthcoming report on Turkey
would praise positive developments in Turkish-Armenian relations and
the Turkish President’s landmark visit to Armenia in September.
French ambassador to Ankara Bernard Emie, whose country is currently
holding the term presidency of the EU, gave a reception on the
occasion of the visit of members of the European Parliament’s human
rights sub-committee and the foreign affairs committee.
Helen Flautre, head of the European Parliament’s human rights
sub-committee, expressed curiosity about the content of the report
drafted by the Prime Ministry Inspection Board concerning the
assassination of Agos Turkish-Armenian newspaper editor Hrant
Dink. "We would like to learn the truth about the assassination," she
said, Hurriyet reports.
