Today at “Pastark” press-club politician Sergey Shaqaryants met journalists and spoke about the last developments of foreign policy around Armenia. During the press-conference he also spoke about the regional developments.

The politician considers that the decision by French Constitutional Court to recognize the draft of criminalization of Armenian Genocide was completely expected. According to him N. Sarkozy used Armenian draft in order to get attention during the pre-electoral period.

On 1998 many people wanted to make him answer in front of the court but it did not happed due to efforts of Vazgen Sargsyan”, the politician concluded.
