PanARMENIAN.Net - The State Programming Organization of Turkey has assessed EU expectations from Turkey and the frequently proposed term of full integration - 2014 - and stated the final date will be proposed to Turkey and the European Union Summit in 2012, reported the Yerkir newspaper referring to Yeni Shafag Turkish edition. Organization research has shown that as compared to the previous contenders for EU accession, Croatia is suggested fewer conditions than Turkey. If the talks on Croatia's accession were postponed due to the trial on those guilty in the Bosnia war not being completed and failure to meet a number of political criteria, the Armenian and Cyprian problems are raised against Turkey. The organization has also stated that the EU demands that Turkey establish good relations with all neighbors, including Armenia. This evidences EU demand to open the border with Armenia and recognize Cyprus independence. At that Turkish membership in the European Union will result in financial problems for the EU. In any case one can speak of Turkey's accession to the EU only after 2012.
