The current rapprochement process between Yerevan and Ankara and the South Cyprus issue have nothing to do with Turkey’s EU process, Turkish President Abdullah Gul said. According to him, the country experiences pressures by certain European forces which believe that the processes above hamper Turkey’s efforts towards acceding to EU.
As noted by the country’s top leader, Turkey would strive for normalizing ties with Armenia notwithstanding the EU process.
“The Caucasus should not be a wall between the East and West. Frozen regional conflicts should be resolved,” BBC news quoted Gul as saying.
