Simultaneous resolution of Karabakh conflict and normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations possible
France's position on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is that the conflict refers not only to Azerbaijan and Armenia but to all regions, said Bernard Fassier, the French co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group.
"France treats both Armenia and Azerbaijan as friends and its position is completely impartial. It would be a factor of development if the borders were open not only between Turkey and Armenia but also between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Nobody is interested in poverty and unlucky of its neighbor. Closed borders do not impede air route of Armenians to Turkey and their work in Turkey. It shows that relations between the two countries are not disturbed completely. We hope for a peaceful solution to all problems between the countries. Normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia will help resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Simultaneous resolution of these two problems is possible," Amb. Fassier said, the Azeri Press Agency reports.
