Turkey makes strange demands of Armenia to establish diplomatic relations

What concerns the normalization of the relations with Armenia, such opportunity is rather doubtful, if only Yerevan doesn't deny the recognition of the Armenian Genocide committed by the Turks, which is not to be expected.

April 22, 2008
Turkey has found itself in a rather difficult situation: on the one hand Turkey is already tired of waiting for 10-15 more years to be integrated into the EU; on the other hand, this idea seems too tempting to give it up. The demands of the EU after all are no fancy but necessity for the Turkish officials. As it has already been said more than once, Turkey must prove by its actions and not by words that the country has chosen the democratic way of development.
