It certainly has. Having a country which perpetrated a Genocide entering the EU will be all against what the EU stands for. The EU parliament which recognized the Armenian Genocide, if admits Turkey to the EU, agains it will go agaisnt their beliefs.
Do you think Germany would ever have been accepted to the EU if it has denied the Jewish Holocoust to this day? I support the entry of Turkey to the EU, but only after it changed its mentality towards the minorities, finding a solution to the Cyprus issue, but most importatly coming face to face with its past. A country can never move on without accepting its past. The Genocide issue is going to haunt Turkey forever until it rocognizes it and reconciles with the Armenian people, who will fight and fight until the Genocide is recognized by the whole world and especially Turkey. We have patience, we can wait.
