Politics: CHANGE OF POWER IN GERMANY MAY BURY THE IDEA OF TURKEY'S EU MEMBERSHIPThe future Chancellor of Germany will probably be against the acception of Turkey to the family of European nations. June 1, 2005 On Monday, the major German oppositional political force - the "Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union" has selected the candidate for the federal chancellor's post. In case of victory of the conservators in the upcoming pre-term parliamentary elections the government will be headed by the leader of the "Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union" Angela Merkel. The tough pronouncements of Miss Merkel towards Turkey have won the sympathy of Armenians, guaranteeing the support of the large Armenian community of Germany. ![]() |
