Zaman, Turkey
Dec 17 2004
During today’s European Union (EU) summit, a group of Armenians held
a protest around the EU Council building in Brussels.
According to the police, nearly, 2,300 Armenians demanded Turkey to
recognize genocide allegations. The group handed out flyers before
the beginning of full membership negotiations with Turkey.
The Armenians also demanded Turkish recognition of Greek Cypriots
and an immediate evacuation of the northern part of the island.
Protesters said they oppose Turkey’s membership negotiations because
Turkey does not share the European ideal.
