PanARMENIAN.Net - French Senator Bernard Saugey urged not only conflicting parties but also international forces to show political will in the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh issue.

“Regardless of the influence of Azerbaijani petrodollars, I believe that the leaders of superpowers can be reasoned with in promotion of the international recognition of the Republic. However, preservation of peace is currently of more importance to the NKR,” the Senator said.

As Senator Henri de Raincourt in turn, noted, the principle of people’s right for self-determination should be viewed as a priority in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, as well as that of the preservation of peace.

In conclusion, French parliamentarian François Rochebloine slammed Azerbaijan’s heroization of axe-murderer Ramil Safarov.
