Armenian Genocide recognition issue not included in EU report on Turkey
"The Armenian Genocide issue is not reflected in the European Union report on Turkey's progress," European Armenian Federation chairperson Hilda Tchoboian said.

"The report specifically mentions the blockade of Cyprus by Turkey. The European Armenian Federation will continue to work towards including the Armenian issue norms in the report."

She said the organization members have planned meetings with European Parliament members, and with Dutch Christian Democrat Oimen Guiten Gia, the author of the report. The report is due in October, Yerkir reports.
