A recent statement by French OSCE Minsk Group co-chair Bernard Fassier
on the courage of Armenian soldiers has raised some hysteria in Baku.

Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Elkhan Polukhov said that
Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, as soon as possible, will speak
with Fassier about this statement.

"I personally know how brave the Armenian and Karabakh soldiers are,"
Fassier had said at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly’s 73rd Rose-Roth
seminar in Yerevan on March 11.

According to the Azerbaijani news source Trend News, Baku wants
to find out what Fassier meant by saying that Azerbaijan’s win was
impossible should a new war commence in Nagorno-Karabakh.

In an interview with Day.Az, Azerbaijani political analyst Vafa
Guluzade said that the French co-chair was not sober-minded while
making the statement.

"Two conclusions can be made from that statement. Fassier either lacks
diplomatic qualification or he was under the influenc of alcohol. But
I think it was the mullbery vodka that affected him," said Guluzade.

Bernard Fassier has not yet responded to Baku’s reactions.
