Turkey's EU membership to have positive impact on Armenian-Turkish relations

February 28, 2007 - 15:05 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - "Poland supports Turkey's bid for the European Union. It will be beneficial for the entire region and will have a positive impact on the Armenian-Turkish relations," Polish Foreign Minister Anna Fotyga said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net "However, Turkey faces a long process. This state has to confirm adherence to European values first of all. Poland enjoys good relations with Turkey and used to be its strategic partner once. After a serious political discussion we concluded that we should support this state. I would also like to note that Poland was ready to mediate for normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations. We enjoy close historical ties with both countries, but it's a special case. I am convinced that Yerevan and Ankara will reconcile sooner or later. We can help if Armenia and Turkey request our mediation," she said.
