Ankara. Ankara is reportedly uncomfortable over Romania’s decision to appoint an ethnically Armenian government member, Senator Varujan Vosganian, to the post of EU Commissioner, the online edition of the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reports. Vosganian, who belongs to the Romanian Liberal Party, played a critical role in his country's decision to declare April 24 'genocide remembrance day.' The 48-year-old Vosganian, who presided over the Romanian Senate's Budget and Planning Commission, will assume the post on the first day of the New Year, when Romania will officially become an EU member state."
