"Speaking about French President N. Sarkozy's visit to Armenia and the
opinions that it was directly connected to the more active role France
has adopted in the NKR conflict settlement and the involvement of the
NKR into the negotiation process head of Artsakh President's press
office, political scientist David Babayan said they have emphasized
for many times that no conflict settlement can be expected without
Karabakh's participation.
"France, Russia, the US and Armenia realize this. Azerbaijan
understands this too but it obviously does not want to settle the
conflict in a way the international community wants," D. Babayan told.
The political scientist thinks that France has a rather active role
in NKR conflict settlement, but it needs a series of approaches in
order to strengthen its role.
"Taking into consideration the geographical distance of France,
its potential ... it should be noted that it will have a positive
role from the point of view of peace and stability preservation. The
fact that French President stated in Baku that war is ruled out is
very important. It means that France represents viewpoint of Europe,
which is considering unacceptable any deconstructive step," D. Babayan
mentioned in the interview given to Aysor.am.
