HRAPARAK: HOLLANDE'S REGIONAL VISIT LINKED TO KARABAKH SETTLEMENT
09:24 * 16.07.14
The paper says it has learned from sources close to the US Embassy
to Armenia that the French president's recent visit to the South
Caucasus region was linked to new his new plans on settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
As the leader of a state which acts as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk
Group, Francois Hollande reportedly sought his country's dominance
in the mission to keep the plans for new a new meeting between the
Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents under control. The paper says that
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan unequivocally expressed support to
Hollande's proposal, and so did the Azerbaijani leader, Ilham Aliyev.
Citing its sources, the paper claims further that Mr Hollande and
the United States seek to not only arrange a meeting but also make
the heads of the conflicting countries sign a declaration reiterating
their commitment to reach a peaceful settlement of the land dispute.
The paper adds that this kind of proposal does not suffice Azerbaijan
which is said to be in serious bargains with Russia. That's thought
to be the only reason of the delay in talks, though the paper claims
that the meeting is certain to take place sometime in the future.
