Only a strong and united Europe is capable to perform peacekeeping missions and resolve conflicts throughout the globe, according to France's ambassador to Armenia.

"Achievement of peace in South Ossetia in August 2008 was Europe's merit. As you remember, French President Nicolas Sarkozy offered a deal that put an end to the Russian-Georgian conflict. Moreover, the EU initiated Russia-Georgia talks in Geneva," Serge Smessov said.

He also remarked that rotating presidency doesn't justify itself and that the European Union needs a President.

"We also need a 10-thousand strong peacekeeping force for the conflicts NATO can't cope with," the French diplomat said.
