Turkey should speed up the process of reforms for joining the European Union, an expert said.
Turkey has increased the number of laws meeting European standards but its not enough. Having changed greatly since 1990-ies, Turkey failed to settle its problems with Cyprus and Armenia, Riccardo Serri, a member of European Commission, said during Turkey-Armenia Dialogue Series: Breaking the Vicious Cycle seminar in Yerevan.
Furthermore, France, which holds presidency in the EU, opposes Turkeys bid, he said, adding that the Armenian-Turkish dialogue could help Ankara overcome obstacles on the way toward the European Union.
