YEREVAN, AUGUST 10, ARMENPRESS: French officials appeared in
Azerbaijani `black list' are not surprised with such decision.
`Armenpress' reports making a reference on French Le Journal du
Dimanche that among 335 people included in Azerbaijani `black list'
22 are French and 140 of them French Parliament.
`It is like praise for me as it records the fact that I visited
NagornoKarabakh. If there is a country like Azerbaijan than we should
be able to die without seeing Baku,' said French senator Phillip
Marinio.
Another French parliamentarian, co-president of France-NagornoKarabakh
friendship group François Roshbluan mentions that Azerbaijani
pressure has never been so great. `In past nobody was interested in
this country. Today situation has changed. Azerbaijan tries to show
itself like a virgin but the image is different. It is a criminal
country,' he mentions.
It was not interesting also for Valerie Boyer the author of bill
criminalizing the denial of Armenian genocide in France. In her
opinion Azerbaijan receives dividends from its oil profits. `I do not
believe that it is possible to buy everything with money but this
work-style shows their weakness,' mentions Boyer.
Azerbaijani foreign affairs ministry published on August 2 a `persona
non-grata list' of people who had visited Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
335 people were included in it.
In the above-mentioned absurd list are included 14 deputies of Russian
Parliament, 5 reporters of German ZDF TV channel, president of
Berlin academy, deputies of Iranian, Slovakian, Argentinean
parliaments, famous Russian economist Victor Sheinis, Baroness Cox,
President of military academy of Denmark, Russian political scientist
Sergey Marcedonov, 14 deputies of French parliament, Italian singer
Al Bano, 8 deputies of European Parliament, reporter of Washington
Post in Moscow Will Englund, reporter of New York Times Anastasia
Taylor Wint, Phillip Kirkorov's father - Bedros Kirkorov, famous opera
singer Montserrat Caballe, deputy of Canadian Parliament.
The list also includes 6 American doctors, 7 British deputies, a Greek
deputy, 3 deputies of Swiss Parliament, editor in chief of EU foreign
policy magazine, former EU special representative in South Caucasus
