"Over 10 years France sparing no effort has been taking part in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process within the OSCE Minsk Group," French President Jacques Chirac said at the opening ceremony of the Square of France in Yerevan. "I do want to believe that the time for peace has come. I do want to believe in it, since I know the price of war. One more step should be done for achieving peace. A hard step, which will prove the belief in future of the humanity. Yerevan and Baku should take this step, since it will open the horizon to peace, light and prosperity. This is my wish to the peoples of the Caucasus," the French President said.
