Minsk Group format irreplaceable: French Ambassador

 

 

 

The OSCE Minsk Group remains irreplaceable as a mediator in the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, and the three co-chairing countries continue to work harmoniously with each other, French Ambassador to Armenia Jean-François Charpentier told a press conference today.

The Ambassador said the Minsk Group Co-Chairs are expected to visit the region next week.

As for the possibility of a Blitzkrieg, the Ambassador said such predictions are more of a speculation.

Jean-François Charpentier is optimistic about Armenia’s European agenda. He sees no inconsistency between the Eurasian Economic Union and the European Union. As a proof, he reminded about the discussions at Riga Summit on the possibility of a new agreement between Armenia and the EU.

France also has new programs of cooperation with Armenia, the Ambassador said. This fall Yerevan will host a large Armenian-French business forum and a meeting of Ministers of Francophonie countries.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
