    The French Senators believe that Nagorno-Karabakh has chosen the
    right way of development

    On May 23, the NKR National Assembly Deputies had a meeting with
    French Senators Sophie Juasen, Philip Marini, and Bernard Furnie.

    After the meeting, the guests answered journalists' questions. The
    Senators represent the leading Party of France - Union of People's
    Movement.

    Probably, after their visit to the NKR, the French Senators will be
    included in the Azerbaijani 'black list'. We wonder how they will
    comment on such an attitude. In response, F. Marini said that he would
    regret, because he had never been to Azerbaijan. But, there are many
    states, which he has never visited.

    We asked F. Marini the following question: "You noted at the NKR NA
    that it was your first visit; at the same time, you said that the
    state's situation was uncertain. Doesn't the 20-year statehood serve
    a basis for international recognition?" According to Mr. Marini,
    the 20-year efforts are very important. They created corresponding
    conditions for democratic institutions' establishment and permanent
    existence in this state. At the same time, this situations leads to
    the fact that all the forces are unanimous on one issue and united
    around a sacred goal. And from this point of view, all the other,
    less important issues are pushed back. The next question of the
    Azat Artsakh correspondent proceeded from Marini's words: "So, can
    we say that a self-determined nation lives here, which is able to
    achieve its goal?" "Yes. Your people have consolidated thanks to
    their spirit, courage, thanks to the efficient activities of the
    institutions operating in Nagorno Karabakh. Surely, stable peace and
    the country's clear future are needed in order that future investors
    can safely come here. Your country leaves the impression of small
    Caucasian Switzerland", the Senator said.

    Answering a journalist's question on why the Christian world does not
    use its capacity to preserve this islet, Mrs. Sophie Juasen said that,
    naturally, the Christian world followed and knew what was happening
    in this country and spiritually supported the values existing here.

    According to her, the democratic states take this people's struggle
    with much greater understanding. The modern democratic world realizes
    deeply the fact that Karabakh has chosen the democratic way. Mr.

    Marini emphasized that during their meeting with the Republic's
    President Bako Sahakian and ecclesiastic leader Pargev Martirossian
    their talks were only about peace.

    The Senators were asked whether they really worked over the NKR
    international recognition. Senator Marini gave a diplomatic answer
    to the question: the issue is discussed at the negotiations within
    the OSCE Minsk Group, on the basis of the Madrid Principles.

    Today, the EU seeks active involvement in the South Caucasus region.

    We also know that European integration is one of the important
    directions of Armenia's foreign policy. The EU tries to have more
    active contacts with Nagorno Karabakh; there are even rumors that this
    European structure may have a representative to our Republic. Doesn't
    this reality give a new tint to the traditional diplomacy? Answering
    the Azat Artsakh question, Mr. Marini, in particular said, "Maybe.

    But, the more the interests towards this region, the better. I think
    that both France and the European Union should launch their activities,
    proceeding from the reality. There are many regions in the world,
    especially yours, where violence and conflicts are great. And even if
    the reality existing after 1994 does not correspond to the aspirations
    of all the conflicting parties, however, the reality is that peace
    is established here".
