Turkey Has No Chances to Become Fully European CountrySeptember 14, 2006 - 18:37 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey will hardly leave EU talks, but it cannot meet all European criteria, political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, the logic of development of the talks suggests that Turkey, even having the direct and rather aggressive support of Washington, does not have chances to become a European country in the foreseeable future. «The process of sobering up will be painless: Ankara understands that Turks never were a European people. At that Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan underscored that by declaring «secularity», Turkey is held by military bayonets. «However, this state of affairs cannot be sustained perpetually, at least as army is a creation of the people. Turkey will finally return to pan-Turkism ideology, as it is their true religion,» the political scientist said.
