French Senator: I hope, Minsk Group co-chairs will finally awake

Paris. 6 July. REPORT.AZ/ French Senator Eric Dolige condoled to the relatives of those killed in Alkhanli village of Fizuli region and said that this incident, which led to the death of baby, is an unacceptable tragedy.

In his interview with Report’s French bureau he expressed hope that the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will not be indifferent to this tragedy and will sooner take measures to resolve the conflict peacefully: “Because not reacting to this crime, not punishing the offender means co-operation with a criminal. If the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has not been solved yet, this is the reason for Armenia's blocking the negotiations. Azerbaijan wants peace.Azerbaijan wants to return the occupied territories of Armenia.Azerbaijan wants to restore its territorial integrity. Our "Armenian friends" are hindering the spread of the truth about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in France.I hope the co-chairs of the Minsk Group will eventually awake and prevent next tragedy."
