(MENAFN- AzerNews) French President Emmanuel macron publicly supports separatism
and his position is not supported by any EU state.
This is noted in an article by the authoritative Bulgarian
publication The Sofia Globe, Azernews reports via
a reliable source .
Recall that this was acknowledged by the French leader himself,
whose country has been engulfed in flames for the past week, saying
that he will continue to make efforts, even if he is the only one
in the international community with such an agenda.
In this context, Macron's policy in the South Caucasus
completely contradicts the EU foreign policy aimed at establishing
peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In addition, the EU depends
on the supply of Azerbaijani energy resources. Therefore, now the
French president in Europe is considered an obstacle, rather than a
reasonable colleague.
As the newspaper notes, in May, The Wall Street Journal wrote
that Macron's policy in the South Caucasus does not serve regional
interests and contradicts the efforts of Washington and Brussels to
achieve a peaceful settlement between Yerevan and Baku.
Armenian factor in France
President Macron has become a hostage to the radical elements of
the Armenian diaspora, although they have little weight in the
elections. The number of all French citizens who have the right to
vote is about 600,000. This is only 1% of the total number of
voters.
However, the president of one of the leading European nations is
under the influence of Armenian radicals.
"Azerbaijan is not an aggressor in this conflict, but it became
a victim of the inventors of the "greater Armenia" project. Now,
based on the results of the Second Karabakh War, Azerbaijan is
carrying out restoration work in the liberated territories. This
provokes a furious reaction from the multi-million Armenian
diaspora and certain French politicians who are subject to their
influence,” emphasizes the Sofia Globe, referring to an analytical
report published by the Ukrainian TV channel Pyatiy.
Opposition to the negotiation process
According to Armenian media, immediately after the European
summit in Chisinau on June 1, Macron called the co-chairman of the
Coordinating Council of Armenian Organizations of France Murad
Papazyan and complained about EU officials, saying something like:
“I am the only one who is interested in the future of Artsakh, and
other participants in the negotiation process (including German
Chancellor Scholz and European Council President Charles Michel)
consider it an integral part of Azerbaijan."
As you can see, Macron seemed to report to the owner. And what
is happening in the meantime in France itself? Pogroms and
dissatisfaction with the authorities, but the French leader did not
give a damn about his people and went to watch Elton John's
concert.
Against this background, the central European and American media
unanimously note the destructive role of Macron in the South
Caucasus.
The London edition of EuToday specifies that "it is unprofitable
for France to resolve the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict." According
to the authors, this situation is due to the instability factor
within the EU: "If the member states follow the policy of France,
this means that a number of EU member states will independently
recognize separatist entities, and possibly even recognize
individual national minorities."
Thus, the policy of President Macron in the South Caucasus
causes concern and criticism from not only regional players such as
Azerbaijan and Ukraine, but also from other EU countries and the
analytical community as a whole.
