TURKEY CANCELS MEETING WITH EU IN ISTANBUL DUE TO POINT ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
16:00, 11 February, 2015
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 11, ARMENPRESS. The relations between Ankara and
Brussels have been escalated due to the inclusion of the point on
the Armenian Genocide in the report made by the European Parliament
comprising 442 points.
As reports “Armenpress” citing the Turkish objektifbakis.com news
website, on these grounds Turkey has unilaterally canceled the
Turkey-EU parliamentary commission, which was scheduled to be held
on February 18-19 in Istanbul.
Among other things, it is noted that Turkey thus expresses its
protest to Brussels claiming that this is a “diplomatic counteraction”
against adding the point on the Armenian Genocide to the proposals.
