ArmInfo. France remains fully committed to finding a negotiated solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
This was announced during a briefing on February 20 at the French Foreign Ministry on the request to express the attitude of Paris to the statement of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, where the latter expressed his claims to Yerevan.At that, French Foreign Affairs Ministry calls on the parties to the conflict to work in good faith in this regard, in particular by refraining from any declaration or action likely to exacerbate tensions
It should be reminded that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev made a claim to Yerevan at the 6th congress of the New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) in early February, calling it the historic Azerbaijani territory. "We must not forget and do not forget about our historical lands. This should be the direction of our future activities, as we are now working in this direction. Our historical lands are the Yerevan Khanate, Zangezur-Goycha. And we, Azerbaijanis, should return to these lands. This is our political and strategic goal, and we should approach this goal step-by-step, "Aliyev said. He also stressed that the policy of isolating Armenia from all regional projects will continue until the "Azerbaijani territories" are liberated.
