Kocharian: Armenia was Never against Turkey Accession to EU

PanARMENIAN.Net - «Armenia has never been against Turkey's accession to the EU,» stated Armenian President Robert Kocharian in Ljubljana during today's joint news conference with Slovenian President Janez Drnovsek. "We only said that the process of accession and conditions put forward by the EU should be unified for all candidates. There should be no beneficial terms, conditioned by the strategic position of any country, its size or population number," the Armenian leader said. Countries working for EU membership should establish good relations with all their neighbors and recognize their past, he also said. «As for the process of Turkey's accession to the EU itself, it will be favorable to us, as we will have a more predictable neighbor, and Armenia's border with Turkey will be our border with the EU,» Kocharian stated, reported Mediamax.
