YEREVAN-France’s decision on the bill criminalizing denial of genocides will not have any significant impact on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. The director of the Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan said during the Moscow-Yerevan teleconference on Wednesday.

The expert mentioned that ‘not so friendly relations of Armenia and Turkey is not news’. Talking about the meeting of the Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents in Sochi on Monday he announced that the meeting was already the 10th in that format. No progress was expected during the meeting and was not achieved.

At the same time Iskandaryan stressed that Azerbaijan behaved sharply on the adoption of the bill criminalizing genocide denials by making statements on issues that do not concern Baku at all.
