Britain’s former European Minister Denis MacShane warned yesterday that if the European Union begins to ask member countries for formal apologizes for certain events in their histories, the bloc could face a danger of collapse.
In a guest op-ed in French daily Liberation, commenting on French President Jacques Chirac’s remarks during his recent visit to Yerevan, MacShane said that then British Premier Tony Blair should visit Madagascar and Algeria to urge France to formally apologize to these nations for its massacres during World War II.
Stressing that the EU was putting new obstacles in front of Turkey almost each month, MacShane said that Turkey’s friends should make diplomatic efforts to urge the EU to fulfill its commitments to this country. |
