Azerbaijani leaders, says French lawmaker
10:13 * 08.09.14
French President Francois Holland spares absolutely no effort to
organize a new meeting between the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders, a
French parliament member said, commenting on the latest developments
around Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh).
"The French president wishes to bring them next to each other to help
them reach a compromise. [He seeks], in particular, to convince the
sides that the Nagorno-Karabakh leadership too, should have its
participation in this process," René Rouquet, a member of the
France-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship Group, told Tert.am
The French lawmaker said he has been frequently visiting Artsakh
recently, adding that he maintains good relations with the country's
leadership.
"The Artsakh leadership is politically on a high level today. Its main
duty is explain and let the world know why the people there have found
themselves in the situation they are facing today and what key demands
they have for improving the situation and accomplishing the
Nagorno-Karaabkh Republic," he noted.
Mr Rouquet, who is also the head of France's Delegation to the Council
of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly, said he sees that Azerbaijanis
manage to spend millions of their oil dollars in European
organizations today to lobby for anti-Armenian solutions to the
problem.
"Azerbaijan's steps force us to spare no extra effort to counteract
their measures. Our delegation has a mission to let all Europeans,
[including] French politicians know about matters concerning the
Armenian reality, particularly the Nagorno-Karabakh issue," he added.
He said their primary task is to promote Armenia's progress to make
Armenians stay in the region and develop the country.
"We are trying, to the best of our efforts, to assist Armenia and be
also useful to Nagorno-Karabakh. We offer our contribution to the
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue to help it remain an Armenian
territory and be recognized as an independent country in future," he
added.
