of the town and it had a reputation as a good place working that was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems with security or violence. based political analyst nicol america vege believes the deadly incident highlights the refugee crisis unfolding in front because too early to see now what type of check was done when these refugees come into france what kind of check does france do how would they do that to see their background for these people coming from what are their beliefs or what are their motivations why are they coming here 'd. do they belong to any specific organizations i think this definition goes that france does not do that in any case it doesn't do it correctly and it's hitting people in which should it be here if you are going to let 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 to rape

conflict stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it's populated mainly overwhelmingly in fact by ethnic armenians in an interview to russian media the leaders of both countries are lined their positions but. 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 azubuike johny communities should live peacefully and co-exist on the territory own karabakh or fighting had flared up recently in

a number of regions in the euro area with the 2 sides accusing each other of launching attacks down of reports now on how life has been affected for those living in the conflict zone. this place could very easily be mistaken for the front line of nagorno karabakh but it isn't it's a small sleepy village of. also commonly known as red bazaar and last night it was battered by a very fire standing in one of the craters left by the bombardment it's about 8 meters in diameter the her. was about 7 o'clock i wanted to park the car in the yard because the bombs had been dropped there. the cast iron explodes and splinters everywhere with a radius up to a few 100 meters today for example my house wasn't damaged but our neighbor's windows were smashed someone's roof was broken we're already used to it. like
