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.
