"Armenia's Strange Role in Turkey-EU Relations
One of the strongest opposition comes from Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora
Jan Soykok, JTW, 10 December 2004
Turkish accession to the EU will change Turkey a lot. Liberal intellectuals in Turkey have great hopes: Mehmet Altan for instance argues that the EU will stabilize the democratization and liberalization in Turkey and will boost human rights improvements. Many foreign policy experts defend that an EU member Turkey will make a great contribution to its region (the Middle East, Balkans, the Eastern Mediterranean, Black Sea, Caucasia and Central Asia). Turkey�s EU integration will definitely impact Turkish-Armenian relations as well and will help in solving the historical problems. However Armenia does not want to wait anymore and asks everything before Turkey's accession to the EU. "
