Europe's gentle stand on Turkey interim
"Europe will soon build up its pressure on Turkey, ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director Kiro Manoyan told a news conference in Yerevan.

Right-wing European forces opposing Turkey's accession think that Ankara should be dissuaded from joining the European Union, according to him.

"However, Europe will have to change tactics toward Turkey due to latter's attitude to northern Iraq and Kurdistan and article 301 providing for criminal penalty for 'insulting Turkishness', specifically for mention of the Armenian Genocide," he said, Novosti Armenia reports.
