"France, as one of the three States which chair together the OSCE
Minsk Group, remain faithful to the principles which where defined by
the 15th Ministerial Council of the OSCE which took place in Madrid on
29th and 30th November, 2007," Roland Blum, member of the Assemblée
Nationale, First Deputy Mayor of Marseilles told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
"Nevertheless, the difficulties met by the implementation of
those principles find their roots in the disagreement between the
parties about the status of the Nagorno-Karabakh and in the current
impossibility to reach an agreement between territorial integrity and
self-determination. Yet, only self-determination, expressed through
the vote of the Karabakhtsi people, will definitely allow to settle
this problem, since I regard as unbelievable that a people may be
forced to live under the domination of another one against its will,"
he stressed.
"Since France has acknowledged this principle for Kosovo, the same
right could be granted to Nagorno-Karabakh," he noted.
