French Senators hail Artsakh's commitment to democratic values
May 26, 2012 - 18:50 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Member of the French Senate Sophie Zhuasen commented
on Azerbaijan's decision to declare her, as well as Senators Philippe
Marini and Bernard Fournier persona non grata for visiting Artsakh.
`We responded to Nagorno Karabakh authorities' invitation and resolved
to see what's happening there in person. As far as we know, the
territory is not closed and many parliamentary delegations had visited
it before us. In our opinion, French Senate can also be part of it and
witness developments there,' she told a press conference in Yerevan.
`We were happy to see Artsakh's brave nation, which is committed to
democratic values. Armenians have resided there for centuries and will
do the utmost to ensure peace and harmony in the country,' the Senator
said.
`As a democrat, I myself was excited to see the nation's aspiration to
become a bearer of democratic values,' she said.
Senator Marini, in turn, stressed the warm and friendly welcome they
received in Artsakh, as well as interesting discussions with the
President, Prime Minster, National Assembly speaker and head of the
Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
