A number of French students having paid a four-day visit to Karabakh
met with journalists and young people of Artsakh at the Artsakh Youth
Development Centre on June 15. During the meeting the guests introduced
their programmes and addressed questions to the journalists and the
youth of Artsakh.
MA second-year 12 students of the faculty of "Management and
International Relations" of Kretel University, Paris, visited Artsakh
and Armenia on an educational programme with their supervisor.
It is five years the students of our University, assisted by the
Armenian community of France and the SPFA organization, have visited
Yerevan and Gyumri in Armenia, Stepanakert, Shoushi as well as Khachen
village of Askeran region in Artsakh within the framework of an
educational programme. Armenia is the best variant for our students
to choose for working on their postgraduate theses on such topics
as state government and its problems and natural disasters. Here our
students can study the topics they have chosen in quiet and peaceful
conditions," Bernard Haqour, supervisor of the group, said in his
interview to Karabakh-open.info.
The French students were received by NKR Foreign Minister Vasili
Atajanyan, Leader of the Artsakh Diocese Pargev Archbishop Martirosyan,
they had a meeting with the school headmaster and the inhabitants of
Khachen village.
The supervisor of the group confesses that this is his first visit
to Armenia and Artsakh but before it he carefully studied the reports
prepared after the previous visits.
"Coming to Artsakh I realized that part of what I read in the reports
conforms to reality, the other part does not. The impact of the war is
hardly noticeable here. In the course of time Artsakh has developed
greatly. But I found out that here only the past and the present of
Artsakh can be definitely studied, as for the future of the country
only wishes and goals are spoken of whereas the ways and methods of
their realization are not specified yet,' said my interlocutor.
Funny Roubeque, a student, states that she is studying the Karabakh
conflict and before her visit to Armenia and Karabakh she familiarized
herself with the conflict materials published by different Armenian
and Azerbaijani sources. "Here I realized that neither source reflects
the reality. The Azerbaijani sources speak of the danger of war,
while nothing like this is felt here, people walking around are
smiling and show no sign of fear. Only when I spoke to them I felt
the inner fear of war," said Funny and added that whatever conflict
settlement variants are suggested the outer world can never feel the
same as the Artsakh people do.
