SARKOZY CONCERNED ABOUT NAGORNO-KARABAKH DELAYS

French President Nicolas Sarkozy expressed concern Wednesday about
lagging diplomacy between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the enclave of
Nagorno-Karabakh, his office said.

Sarkozy laid out his concerns during a lunch meeting in Paris with
Armenian President Serge Sarkisian, and urged both sides to make
"the necessary efforts and compromises," a French presidential
spokesman said.

The French leader said he was concerned that a diplomatic process
initiated about 18 months ago was losing steam, the spokesman said
on condition of anonymity, citing government policy.

Neither president spoke to reporters after their meeting.

Nagorno-Karabakh is an enclave in Azerbaijan that has been under
the control of ethnic Armenian forces since a six-year conflict that
killed about 30,000 people before a truce was reached in 1994.

Repeated efforts by international mediators such as Russia, France,
the United States and the Organization for Security and Cooperation
in Europe to resolve the dispute have failed.

The lack of resolution has tied up development in the energy-rich South
Caucasus. Gunfire breaks out sporadically along the border between
the two ex-Soviet countries and in the regions near Nagorno-Karabakh.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
