At the initiative of the Azerbaijani Diaspora, the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI) hosted a conference on the Karabakh conflict in Paris. The event brought together 48 people, a confidential source told PanARMENIAN.Net.

Tabib Huseynov, allegedly a native of Shushi and holder of Master's Degree in International Relations and European Studies from the Budapest-based Central European University, presented his views on Karabakh.

Basically, Azerbaijani students attended the event, along with French researchers. Pro-Azerbaijani ex-member of the Swedish parliament Goran Lidblad was also present at the event. The Azerbaijani side organized the event rather well, but failed in cheating the attendees, especially, after the speech of Azerbaijani Ambassador to France Elchin Amirbeyov, who started disseminating anti-Armenian propaganda. However, the French side did not attach importance to the Azerbaijanis’ speeches, and not a report was published. IFRI was represented only by Philippe Moreau-Defarges, a researcher and co-director of RAMSES publication.

The source noted that Azerbaijan exerted huge efforts to organize the conference in response to the March conference of IFRI with participation of President of the Republic of Artsakh Bako Sahakyan. “The anti-Armenian propaganda of Azerbaijan has no limits,” the source concluded.
