Priorities of French foreign policy do not depend on change of president
The existing democratic system of power in France does not depend on the change of president, French Minister-Delegate for Regional Development Christian Estrosi told reporters in Yerevan. He said, the main priorities of the state in foreign policy are not changing over the past several decades. "Succession of course is fixed in the bases of democratic values, which France adhere to," Estrosi said. Asked, whom he supports on the presidential post, Estrosi stated that his candidate is Nicola Sarkozy, the current Minister of Interior. Sarkozy is against Turkey's membership to the European Union and insists on recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
