Ankara disturbed by Romanian appointment to EU Commission
Ankara is reportedly uncomfortable over the decision by Romania,
which will officially become an EU members starting January 1, 2007,
to appoint an ethnically Armenian government member, Senator Varujan
Vosganian, to represent it on the EU Commission. Vosganian, who
belongs to the Romanian Liberal Party, played a critical role in his
country’s decision to declare April 24 “genocide remembrance day.”
The 48 year old Vosganian, who presided over the Romanian Senate’s
Budget and Planning Commission, will began his job representing
Romania in Brussels on the first day of the new year.
