European Union is not supposed to condemn the history, but rather secure reconciliation and peace, EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule said in response to a written query presented by a group of European Parliament MPs who demanded him to clarify the European Commission’s standpoint on the Armenian Genocide.

“European Union is an institution that should secure peace, reconciliation, democracy, stability and prosperity in the region,” stated Fule.

At the same time he urged on Armenia and Turkey to adhere to the normalization of relations between the two countries and called on them to ratify the Protocols in a reasonable time frame without any precondition and also bring them true to life.

According to Fule the normalization of the relations will contribute to the establishement of security, stability and cooperation in the South Caucasus.
