STRASBOURG (AA) - European Parliament on Wednesday accepted resolution calling for start of Turkey accession talks ''without undue delay''.

The resolution called on Turkey to open its borders with Armenia and the Turkish and Armenian governments to support the peace process. It said sorrowful experiences of the past should be overcome with the support of independent experts. The amendment envisaging recognition of so-called genocide on Armenians as a condition for start of negotiations was rejected.
