The Vote on the draft resolution on “Turkey’s progress toward accession” which should have been voted on Wednesday, July 12th by the Committee for Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament was postponed due to practical reasons, reported the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy (EAFJD). The major reason for delay was the late translation of the numerous amendments. These amendments were submitted only on Monday afternoon to the various political groups, which did not leave time to them to prepare for the vote. The European Parliament resolution will finally be voted on the first week of September (4-7/09) by the Foreign Affairs Committee and eventually on the last week of September in the plenary session.
To remind, the other day members of the leading European Parliament factions offered to introduce the Armenian Genocide issue and opening of borders with Armenia without any preconditions as the items of the agenda of the EU-Turkey talks.
