Hayk Demoyan: Turkey will never become member of the EU

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 11, ARMENPRESS: Turkey will never become member of the EU as it has chosen the path of creating Islamic state and does not regress to temporal, Hayk Demoyan, director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, told Armenpress, speaking about the statement of the Turkish President Abdullah Gul voiced in an interview with BBC that Turkey will do its best to become member of the EU and will implement all the necessary commitments. Abdullah Gul at the same time pointed out that he is not sure that the EU will do the same: “I see that during the talks very artificial and unjust impediments are being created,” he stated.

“Turkey goes through the path of creation of Islamic state. There are two scenarios which are irrelevant with the system of values of the EU and with policy in general. First – Turkey will become a moderate Islamic state, second – it will go to radicalism, that is to say Islam will merge into the nationalism. The manifestations of the second one we already see,” Hayk Demoyan said.

According to him, Turkey will not accept the fact of the Armenian Genocide as it will contribute to the change of system of values of that country. It also means devaluation of basic values, which Turkey will not allow.
