Artsakh’s Path of Democracy Could Serve an Example to Azerbaijan: French Senator

STEPANAKERT — Artsakh, which has taken the path of democracy, could serve a good example to Azerbaijan, chairman of the France-Armenia friendship group, member of the French Senate Philippe Kaltenbach said at the NKR National Assembly.

Senator Kaltenbach, who is paying his second visit to Artsakh, has noticed progress in the democratic processes in the course of twelve years.

The Senator considers that the conflict with Azerbaijan should be solved exceptionally in a peaceful way and hopes that the forthcoming meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents in October will be productive.

The French lawmaker considers that the Azerbaijani President has adopted a harsh stance in the negotiations and persuading Aliyev is not an easy task. He says, however, that the idea should not be abandoned, as the peaceful settlement is more important.
