Baku.29.04.14.Turan : May 8 starts the visit of the French President Francois Hollande to the South Caucasus. On May 12 he will be in Baku and on this day he will hold a meeting with representatives of civil society, in particular , with Leyla Yunus as a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor.
The current situation around the famous human rights activist , and in particular , her possible prosecution, puts the meeting into question.
The consequences of the scandal for official Baku are difficult to predict , but there is no doubt that the French side will insist on the security of Yunus, as evidenced by the fact that the French Ambassador and his deputy accompanied Leyla and Arif Yunus at Baku airport on Monday evening when they were flying to Paris.
If at the time of the arrival of the French President in Baku, Leyla Yunus is charged with a crime, or is arrested , it is possible that Paris will make a corresponding move . – 02B-
