The president of France Francois Hollande had a meeting with his Azerbaijani colleague Ilham Aliyev in Elysee Palace. Such initiative causes amazement as France is struggling now against the autocratic regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, writes the French Le Mond.
Ilham Aliyev cynically pardoned Ramil Safarov having brutally axed the sleeping Armenian officer during NATO trainings in Budapest. In such conditions Hollande should have refused to meet Alliyev in respect to the values of France and to the French-Armenians.
Referring to the hereditary rule in Azerbaijan, the French paper notes that the main part Azerbaijan in under the control of Alliyev clan, the rest belonging to the family of Alliyev’s wife, Pashaevs.
There is no doubt that Hollande will discuss the Syrian conflict with Alliyev as well issues on human rights, and on the rights of minorities.
The paper concludes that Alliyev’s urges to give back Karabakh, his pardon to Safarov, and the latter’s glorification prove 2 things. That Armenians in Karabakh and Armenia are under the same danger as the Christians in the Middle East. And the second Armenians in Karabakh have no future under Azerbaijani rule.
