French MP and author of the Armenian Genocide bill Valerie Boyer said the Karabakh conflict must not be ignored and must be taken out of the state of pressure. 

In an interview with Azad Or newspaper, Boyer said “a bridge of communication” must be built between Yerevan and Stepanakert for the region to get of an isolated state.

“Armenia and Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh] should withdraw their political, diplomatic and human isolation,” she said, adding that first of all it is necessary to start from drawing international public opinion in favor of Karabakh recognition.

Unfortunately, almost 99% of the French and Europeans are unaware and unconcerned about the Artsakh issue. The MP considers it is explained by the fact that Karabakh has no oil.

Valerie Boyer is confident that the bill criminalizing Armenian Genocide denial and Karabakh recognition process are interrelated.

“It is necessary to continue the efforts urging the United States to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide. This will help Artsakh recognition,” she noted.
