    FRENCH LAWMAKER: ARTSAKH WILL ONE DAY BE RECOGNIZED

    09:38 30/05/2013 " COMMENTS

    Artsakh will one day garner international recognition, said French
    lawmaker and chairman of the France Artsakh Friendship Group Francois
    Rochebloine, who was visiting the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic along with
    two of his parliamentary colleagues Tuesday, according to Asbarez.com.

    Rochebloine, who is a member of the France's center-right party loyal
    to former President Nicolas Sarkozy said the first step in advancing
    cooperation was the creation of the France-Artsakh Friedship group,
    adding that the priority at the moment is to preserve the peace and
    to ensure that achievements within the peace process are not hindered.

    Rochebloine, a member of the French lower house is being accompanied
    to Artsakh by Senators Henri de Raincourt and Bernard Saugey who held
    meetings with Karabakh's President Bako Sahakian and Foreign Minister
    Karen Mirzoyan.

    Rochebloine observed that non-recognition of Artsakh has not slowed
    the development and work of state bodies, saying that youth in Artsakh
    will provide a "bright future" for the country.

    On the last day of their visit, the legislators were accompanied
    by Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Parliament Speaker Ashot Ghulian on a
    visit to the Stepanakert Memorial where they laid wreaths at the tomb
    of Artsakh's first president Arthur Lazarian and French political
    figure Henri Sabi, who is buried in Artsakh.

    After the Memorial the French parliamentarians went to Shoushi, where
    they visited the Museum of Fine Arts. At a special ceremony there,
    Ghulyan awarded the French visitors with a special medal dedicated
    to the 25th anniversary of Artsakh's Liberation Struggle.

    While in Shoushi, the French leaders visited the St. Ghazanchetsots
    Church and other sites.

    Back in Stepanakert, the members of the France-Artsakh Friendship Group
    met with the representatives of the youth organizations in the Nagorno
    Karabakh Republic and members of the French Club in Stepanakert.
