France is one of the countries that wants to take humanitarian measures, reduce tensions and release detainees. The newly appointed French Ambassador to Armenia Anne Louyot stated this in an interview with Armenpress, referring to the release of Armenian captives held in Azerbaijan.
“Not I nor my colleagues, the French Ambassador in Azerbaijan, follow this topic, there is a separate Ambassador, who is France’s co-chair in the Minsk Group and who follows and deals with this issue,” the ambassador said.
She noted with joy that the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan reaffirmed the importance of the role of the Minsk Group in the settlement of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) conflict.
“The role of the Minsk Group is to accompany the sides in the lasting settlement process. The Minsk Group doesn’t write any document by itself, the talk is about accompanying and assisting the sides in order to find lasting stabilization solutions for the situation in the region,” Louyot said.
