France to continue supporting efforts for just and stable peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan - Macron

 France will continue to support efforts aimed at a just and stable peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. France is convinced that this can only be achieved if international law, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and inviolability of borders are respected.

French President Emmanuel Macron said this during a joint statement with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for media representatives.

"I want to reiterate once again that you can count on France's support for Armenia, its independence, territorial integrity, democratic process and its aspirations for peace.

Our meeting will allow us to discuss negotiations aimed at regulating relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The recent incidents in Syunik prove that the danger of escalation remains real.

France will continue to support efforts aimed at a just and stable peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. France is convinced that this can only be achieved if international law, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and inviolability of borders are respected,'' he said.

He noted that during the meeting held in Prague in 2022, the Armenian Prime Minister reaffirmed Armenia's commitment to the Alma-Ata Declaration and it is necessary for Azerbaijan to resolve the ambiguity regarding the territorial integrity and maps of the Republic of Armenia.

According to Macron, this is necessary in order to carry out work on the delimitation and demarcation of borders, which will serve as the basis for bilateral withdrawal from the border.
