“EU cannot be guided by uncertainty in the issues of establishment of normal diplomatic and good neighbourly relations with Armenia and Cyprus.”
The European Union should resort to more drastic measures with respect to Turkey for the latter to normalize relations with Armenia without delay, European Parliament member, member of the European-Armenian Advisory CouncilFrank Angelsaid.
He said this is just the main hitch, as EU cannot be guided by uncertainty in the issues of establishment of normal diplomatic and good neighbourly relations with Armenia and Cyprus. According to him, they must clarify the fact that the process of negotiations in EU may be affected if the process of normalization of relations with Armenia does not advance with high rates.
He added that any diplomatic initiative is preferable, including a persistent call to Turkey at the top level for Ankara to adhere to the targeted policy. As he said, it is necessary to harden the rhetoric and actions and added that it is impossible to imagine for any existing EU member-state could join the Union having no normal relations with its neighbours, though some of them are still in strained relations with each other.
