SERGE SARGSIAN: TURKEY WILL NOT BE ADMITTED TO EU WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

PanARMENIAN.Net - 18 countries recognizing the Armenian Genocide is an achievement of Armenian diplomacy, Secretary of the Security Council at the Armenian President Serge Sargsian told journalists today. In his opinion, Turkey will not be admitted to the European Union without acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide, as a range of European countries have recognized and censured the Armenian Genocide. "Finally, Turkey should itself ponder over it." S. Sargsian stated. It should be reminded that the Parliament of 15 countries have acknowledged the Armenian Genocide. The Genocide is considered a fact and is censured by a number of UN and PACE commissions, as well as 32 out of the 50 US states. 19 April 2005 the Polish Sejm acknowledged the fact of the commitment of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey. At present a similar document is under consideration by the German Bundestag.
