"France, like all countries in the international community, including
Armenia itself, does not recognize this territory's independence"
Baku. Victoria Dementieva - APA. "Parliamentarians have been duly
advised of our position with respect to Nagorno-Karabakh.
Consequently, this visit does not in any way reflect or change France's
policy with respect to this conflict", Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of France said in its statement, APA reports.
"France, like all countries in the international community, including
Armenia itself, does not recognize this territory's independence. This
territory's international legal status can only be determined within
the framework of a peaceful and equitable solution agreed upon
by all parties concerned. France co-chairs the OSCE Minsk Group,
together with the United States and Russia, and as such was tasked
with helping to find a compromise based on the Helsinki Final Act
and the proposals put forward by the French, American and Russian
presidents on numerous occasions, notably during the G8 Summits in
L'Aquila in 2009 and Muskoka in 2010", the statement reads.
The Embassy of Azerbaijan in France submitted a note of protest to
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France concerning the illegal visit
of a group of French parliamentarians to the occupied territories of
Azerbaijan. Baku demanded official explanation concerning the visit
of the French parliamentarians to Nagorno Karabakh.
