  Armenian political analyst says Sarkozy visit “ineffectual” October 8, 2011 - 14:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian political analyst assessed the 2-day visit of French President Nicolas Sarkozy to Yerevan as “ineffectual”.“The visit merely underscored Armenia-France ties, with Sarkozy making no new comment on either the Armenian Genocide or Karabakh conflict,” Sergey Shakaryants told a news conference in Yerevan. “The Europe and, consequently France are unable to contribute to Karabakh settlement, Armenia-Turkey ties, and moreover, positively affect the military and political situation in the region,” the expert noted. Commenting on Turkey’s response to Sarkozy’s urge to come to terms with its past, the expert cited Davutoglu, who reminded France of its colonial history. “Which proves Turkey incapable of civilized response,” Shakaryants stressed.
