Eurocommission decision to suspend accession talks with Turkey should have been expected, Chair of Parliament Standing Commission on Foreign Relations Armen Rustamyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, the talks should have been started with the precondition regarding Cyprus. «As you remember Greece and Cyprus were against launching the talks, however the EU did not listen to their opinion at the time,» he said.

As for a possible turn of Turkey towards the Islamic world, and as a consequence, fuller support to Azerbaijan in the Nagorno Karabakh issue, Rustamyan noted that «Azerbaijan has huge support of Turkey in all questions. If Armenia had had that support, we would have nothing else to undertake,» Rustamyan underscored.
