    'FRANCE HAS OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE PROCESSES AS MINSK GROUP CO-CHAIR'

    France has rather economic interests related to Azerbaijan and cultural
    interests related to Armenia.

    France is one of the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group with an
    opportunity to influence processes and President Nicola Sarkozy's
    visit to the region will therefore be significant.

    The remarks came from Rasim Musabayov, member of the Azerbaijani
    Parliament and politicial expert.

    France has rather economic interests related to Azerbaijan and cultural
    interests related to Armenia. France's political interests are related
    to Georgia in many cases, Musabayov said.

    The expert recalled that Sarkozy appointed former ambassador to
    Georgia as foreign minister when he came to power.

    'All this show that France has certain interests. But I don't think
    that the meeting visit produce any serious results. Sarkozy made great
    efforts to prevent developments back in 2008. These all are related to
    internal policies of France. Sarkozy does not enjoy much rating today.

    But he still wants to be elected president for the next time.

    Sarkozy thus wants to expand successes he has achieved so far. I
    don't think France has made much efforts in terms of Karabakh conflict
    lately. Anyway, Jeaques Chirac was much more involved in the conflict
    resolution. Nevertheless, France can influence processes as a Minsk
    Group co-chair,' the MP stated.
