    French President and Armenian Diaspora in France put Armenia in
    difficult situation - expert

    WASHINGTON. - Decision of the French National Assembly to bring closer
    Turkey and Azerbaijan can collapse Turkish-Armenian protocols, APA
    analyst at Princeton University (NJ) on Turkey and the Middle East
    Akin Unver stated.

    Earlier, French National Assembly passed the bill penalizing denial of
    the Armenian Genocide.

    According to the expert, the U.S. left Iraq leaving behind a huge
    vacuum of power in the Middle East, while Russia, Iran and Turkey
    attempt to fill it.

    `Currently the possibility of the conflict is higher. Azerbaijan,
    getting used of the successful steps made in the region, may launch a
    military campaign in Karabakh,' he stated.

    According to the expert, when Russia prolonged the contract of its
    base in Armenia's Gyumri city, it also signed the agreement of
    protecting Armenia from foreign attacks. Russia worries about the fate
    of its military contingent in Armenia, as Georgia cancelled the
    agreement on permitting Russian troops to use the Georgian territory
    for transferring to south. Russia should use the territory of either
    Georgia or Azerbaijan to support its armed forces in Armenia. However,
    as it is not possible, Russia's obligation to protect Armenia is
    uncertain.

    `On the other hand, Russia needs the Gabala radar station. The rental
    contract runs out in 2012. On rising the rental price from $7 million
    to $100 million annually, Azerbaijan hints that in case Russia
    supports [Azerbaijan] in Karabakh issue, they may come into agreement
    on price' the expert said. `According to the scenario, on getting the
    support of Turkey and Russia in the Karabakh issue, Azerbaijan appears
    in a very vantage place. Whereas the French President Nikolas Sarkozy
    and the Armenian Diaspora in France put Armenia in a very difficult
    situation on Nagorno-Karabakh issue.'
