Rasim Musabeyov The Azerbaijani political scientist has commented on
signing a military agreement between France and Armenia.

"I do not think that the military agreement signed between Armenia and
France is of great importance. Despite the emotional statements of
the Armenian side, it is not even close to the military cooperation
that we have with Turkey", said political scientist Rasim Musabeyov,
commenting on the recent signing of a military agreement between
France and Armenia.

"Merely, Armenians want to attach a special important to this agreement
to gain dividends during negotiations on Karabakh where there is a
definite document that must be signed by the parties, while Armenians
are trying to avoid this by such maneuvers", Musabeyov said.

As for the reason Azerbaijan does not want to sign a full scale
military agreement with Turkey, the political scientist said this issue
has been on the agenda for long but Turkey seems to be unwilling to
assume such a responsibility in a fear of possible implications.
