French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna has said that Azerbaijan must fulfill the International Court of Justice ruling on ensuring freedom of movement of persons and vehicles along the Lachin Corridor.
Speaking to reporters in Jermuk, the French FM stressed that it is highly important to adhere to the court’s ruling because that’s the legal reality, while non-compliance further worsens the atmosphere of distrust.
Commenting on the Azerbaijani military advance, FM Colonna emphasized that France condemns such unilateral steps.
“France has condemned and condemns such unilateral steps. We are saying this here, and I have publicly said this yesterday in Baku as well. We condemn unilateral steps, we condemn the non-compliance with the court’s ruling. The court has made a ruling, it is very important to adhere to the ruling, because that’s the legal reality and because non-compliance also worsens the already existing atmosphere of distrust,” she said.
