FACT OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE MAY HAMPER TURKEY ACCESSION TO EU
In case Turkey refuses to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire in 1915 - a crime committed 90 years ago, it can become an obstacle for accession of that country to the European Union, Euronews TV channel reported. It was also noted that the Cyprus and Kurdish problems may become serious obstacles on Ankara's way to Europe.
