The negotiation process should not be stopped amid growing tension
in the relations of Azerbaijan and Armenia, says the statement
by the French Foreign Ministry in response to French MP Valerie
Boyer's request to comment on future of the diplomatic relations
with Azerbaijan after extradition and pardon of Azerbaijani murderer
Ramil Safarov.
The French ministry's response in particular says that initiation of
the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers to Paris on September
2-3 by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Jacques Faure of France, Robert
Bradtke of U.S. and Igor Popov of Russia proved quite useful. The
mediators got an opportunity to have separate meetings with the
ministers and express concern to the Azerbaijani minister over the
Safarov case. The mediators urged both the ministers to continue
efforts aimed at peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict, the
statement reads. France intends to further contribute to peaceful
resolution of the Karabakh conflict and fulfill all its commitments
of a MG co-chair-country. For this purpose, the statement says,
France will have high level contacts with the both countries within
the coming weeks.
