YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 6, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Turkey condemned on September 5 the report adopted on the previous day by the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs, in which it is particularly said that "Ankara's recognition of the Armenian Genocide must be a precondition for Turkey's membership to the European Union." Radio Liberty states about it. "We are desperate from efforts of imposing non-objective preconditions on issues demanding a serious scientific study. Some elements of the report written for political reasons are incoferent for such an authoritative organization of the European Parliament," according to Francepress, it's said in the statement spread by the Foreign Ministry of Turkey.
