    STEPANAKERT.- The Karabakh people have the right to declare
    independence and be recognized by the international community, just
    as Kosovo, say French MPs.

    The delegation headed by Guy Teissier, chairman of the French
    National Assembly's committee on national defense, met on Monday with
    Nagorno-Karabakh parliamentarians, RFE/RL reported.

    "Why would we keep silent and not say that people very deeply rooted
    in this land have the right to live here?" said Teissier.

    French MP stressed that visiting Armenia is a gesture of friendship,
    whereas coming to Karabakh is a gesture of solidarity.

    In his turn MP Jacques Remiller noted he personally visited Karabakh
    to express his sympathy towards the Karabakh people and declare that
    "people of Nagorno-Karabakh have the right to declare independence
    and be recognized by the international community, just as Kosovo."

    French MPs also plan to meet with President of Nagorno-Karabakh
    Bako Sahakyan.

    Inter-parliamentary contacts between France and Nagorno-Karabakh
    have become a tradition. Parliamentary delegation led by MP Francois
    Rochebloine visited Nagorno-Karabakh several times over the recent
    years and even appeared in the "black list" of Azerbaijan.
