Baku appeals to France as the co-chairman-state of the OSCE Minsk group on Nagorno Karabakh settlement to pursue balanced policy towards the parties to conflict. As reported by "Mediamax" agency, Azeri foreign minister Vilayat Guliyev stated today in Baku. "We understand that the numerous Armenian Diaspora, which exerts influence upon the public political life of the country, is residing in France. However, I would like to note once again that if France undertook the role of impartial judge, so it should be able to consider both parties to conflict in the same standpoint", - Guliyev stated. To note, Armenian president Robert Kocharian, who intends to discuss with the French leadership the process of Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, is in France on a working visit at present.
