Baku. Habil Suleymanzadeh â€“ APA. â€œI am confident that should it be necessary you will be able to assume the risk of peace in the name of your country and for the benefit of the region, making by that your imprint on Armeniaâ€™s futureâ€, says the letter of French president Nicolas Sarkozy to Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan on the occasion of his recent visit to the region, APA reports.

Touching on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, French leader said that his country was near Armenia in the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict through negotiations: â€œBe sure that France unfalteringly stands by your side to conquer the challenges that your country faces first of all, on the road toward the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict through negotiationsâ€.

Sarkozy especially touched on his visit to the so-called â€œArmenian genocideâ€ monument in Armenia: â€œMy state visit first and foremost is memorable for the emotions that overwhelmed me at the Genocide Memorial, where I paid tribute to the victims of the capital crime perpetrated against your people on April 24, 1915. Please be assured that France will be relentless in its commitment as long as the massacres have not been duly recognized by the descendants of those who had perpetrated the crimeâ€.

French President also touched on the development of French-Armenian relations.
