a good place working that was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems with security or violence. based political analyst nicholas mirka vege believes the incident highlights the refugee crisis unfolding in front of president. because too early to see now what type of check was done when these refugees could come into france what kind of check does france do how would they be do that to see their background or these people coming from what are their beliefs or what are their motivations why are they coming here 'd and do they belong to any specific organizations i think this definition shows that france does not do that in any case it doesn't do it correctly and it's hitting people which shouldn't be here if you are good so that 20300000 people into your country illegally each year and i'm not even if you're talking about people coming illegally what is your plan are you going to help them integrate are you going to do you have jobs with them are you going to help them to learn french are you going to help them it's great in the culture to appreciate the culture to earn the
4:09 pm

4:10 pm
the conflict stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it's populated mainly by ethnic armenians in an interview to russian media the leaders of both countries are blind their positions. well. there is a red line for us and this is the right to self-determination of the people of mcgovern occur and that all times there are many of us ready for such a compromise but there are by john refused to sign agreements because of the river john did not want and does not want to accept that right. under no circumstances can the territorial integrity of azerbaijan be violated under no circumstances will as a vision consent to the independence of nagorno karabakh we believe that in the future the armenian and the azerbaijani communities should live peacefully and co-exist on the territory of nagorno-karabakh. or fighting has flared up recently
4:11 pm
