ET TU BRUTE?
By Marietta Khachatryan
According to the French Embassy to Armenia, French Ministry of Foreign
and European Affairs made a statement on May 26 about parliamentary
elections of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh.
According to the statement, France, like the international community,
including Armenia, doesn’t recognize the independence of Nagorno
Karabakh.
“All interested parties are currently negotiating peaceful settlement
of Karabakh conflict under the aegis of OSCE MG French, U.S. and
Russian Co-Chairs. Recent parliamentary elections can’t affect either
negotiations course or the future NKR status,” the document notes.
It concludes, “France, along with its U.S. and Russian partners,
confirms its position, urging Armenian and Azeri leaders for peaceful
settlement of Karabakh as stipulated in Helsinki Final Act principles
of territorial integrity, nations right for self determination and
non-use of force”.
