09 April 2009 [14:36] - TODAY.AZ
Opening of borders with Armenia does not warrant Turkey's membership in EU, considers Lithuanian FM Vigaudas Usascas, according to Interfax-Azerbaijan.
"Opening of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border does not warrant EU membership", said Usascas speaking before future Azerbaijani diplomats Wednesday.

During the speech the Lithuanian Foreign Minister also voiced Luthuania's support to Azerbaijan's eurointegration.

According to the Minister, though participation in the European Eastern partnership initiative does not aim at country's accession to EU, this program promotes its closing to European standards.
