The relations with Armenia are very much important for the President of
France Nicolas Sarkozy, at least because of a big Armenian community in
France, which may affect the result of the forthcoming presidential
elections, political expert, director of the Caucasus Institute
Aleksandr Iskandaryan said at today's press-conference when commenting
on the two-day visit by the French president to Armenia today.
"Sarkozy's positions on the threshold of the elections are not strong
enough, and the new impulse in the relations with Armenia may become
resolute for reelection of Sarkozy", - he said.
Iskandaryan thinks it is not accidental that over his regional visit
President of France will stay in Armenia longer than in Georgia and
Azerbaijan. This factor is of a certain significance in the world
diplomacy.
He also added that the agenda of the talks between Serzh Sargsyan
and Nicolas Sarkozy will be rather thick because of several reason.
"France is a co-chair state of the OSCE Minsk Group. It has
traditionally friendly relations with Armenia. France is the second
after Russia by the volume of investments in the economy of our
country. And we have old cultural relations. For this reason, both
presidents have much to talk about", - Iskandaryan said.
