Armenia, Azerbaijan have more chances to resolve Karabakh conflict
Armenia and Azerbaijan are close to resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, French Ambassador to Azerbaijan said.

"Paradoxically, today, chances for resolution of the conflict are more than before the Georgian conflict," Gabriel Keller said.

"The South Caucasus countries realized their weakness and their dependence on the regional context, as well as unfeasibility of a military solution. The Minsk Group initiatives have more chances to produce effect now. Every success achieved in the negotiations will be developed with the positive measures for the regional security and welfare," Ambassador Keller said, the Azeri Press Agency reports.
