FRANCE, RUSSIA AND US WILL NOT SUPPORT BAKU IN KARABAKH ISSUE, AZERI POLITICAL SCIENTIST CONSIDERS
France will never support Azerbaijan in the Nagorno Karabakh issue, Azeri political scientist Zardusht Alizade told Echo Baku newspaper. In his words, "France will never do anything that could result in a solution in favor of Azerbaijan - it is contrary to the stance of the French diplomacy, foreign policy." The same can be said of Russia, the political scientist said. This, in Alizade's words, especially refers to the US, where "a tradition" of solving the Karabakh problem has been formed, within which they will never second Azerbaijan.
