ANKARA - "It is obvious that the (EP) report (on Turkey) focused on issues which has nothing to do with common sense and objectivity. We hope that those points will be addressed before the vote in the General Assembly at the end of this month," Turkish MFA spokesman Namik Tan said regarding the Turkey Report which was adopted by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament (EP), yesterday.
Upon a question, Tan said that the report, which was prepared by Christian Democrat MEP Camiel Eurlings, would be voted at the General Assembly on September 28th, 2006.
Tan noted, "several matters in the report which are far from to be real and written with political impulses do not reflect EP`s esteem and seriousness." He mentioned as example issues like the so-called Armenian genocide.
Tan said, "we expect the EP would encourage Turkey-EU relations. We hope MEPs will demonstrate common sense to fix this situation during general assembly meeting."
