French Socialists Urge Turkey to Acknowledge Armenian Genocide
By the offer of French socialists the agenda of the European Parliament session to be held September 25-28 includes 5 items referring to Turkey. These are cancellation of the Talaat-Pasha movement, recognition the Armenian Genocide by Turkey, establishment of diplomatic relations with Armenia and opening of the Turkish-Armenian border. Besides, the recognition of the Armenian Genocide was suggested as a precondition for Turkey's accession to the EU. The French socialists also insist on inclusion of an item on Turkey's deliberate non-acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide, reported APA.
