France is trying to play peacekeeper in Transcaucasia against the background of failure in Africa.
France, after the failure of its African policy, is trying to create an image of a peacemaker in Nagorno Karabakh, although Russia played a peacekeeping role there, said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
France, after the failure of its African policy, is trying to create an image of a peacemaker in Nagorno Karabakh, although Russia played a peacekeeping role there, said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
During the "Sunday evening with Vladimir Solovyov" program of the "Russia 1" TV channel, Zakharova said that, in her opinion, the increase in activity of Paris in the South Caucasus "is a kind of compensation for the failure of the French policy in Africa".
From the Russian diplomat's point of view, France's attempts in the Caucasus include peacekeeping efforts.
"We understand that it has nothing to do with peacekeeping, it was our country that assumed and fulfilled the entire peacekeeping role, even as a mediator in the context of the Nagorno Karabakh settlement. Now, when the most difficult phase is over, we hope that France, as a member of NATO, will not start stoking the fire again," said Zakharova.
Let's remind that RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan left for France on an official visit at the end of February. In a joint briefing with the Prime Minister of Armenia, French President Emmanuel Macron said that Paris supports efforts to establish a just and stable peace in the South Caucasus.
