The reason why Russian peacekeepers allowed French presidential candidate Valerie Pecresse to visit Karabakh is right.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from former Foreign Minister, political scientist Tofig Zulfugarov.

According to him, although the candidacy of Valerie Pekres was nominated by Republicans with deep-rooted traditions, he has recently moved away from them and voiced more radical views:

"His latest visit to Armenia is aimed at gaining more points in the run-up to the upcoming elections. Although the Armenian Diaspora and their votes in France do not exceed 1 per cent, experts say the upcoming elections will be tense. He visited Karabakh illegally after Yerevan, hoping to gain more points in the campaign. "
