“It enabled us to once again emphasize the stance, the commitments of France, which stem from international law: to refrain from supplying weapons and ammunition that are supposed to be used in Nagorno-Karabakh at this point”, French Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Jonathan Lacote stated at the press conference, in response to the question whether what was the matter that one of the Azerbaijani websites had published information that the embargo on weapons was cancelled and Azerbaijan could buy weapons from French companies, which was denied several hours later.
In response to the question whether how effective the meeting between the Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers was taking into account the fact that for four months, Azerbaijan has made considerable accumulations on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, the Ambassador said: “It was awaited meeting in this period of the negotiation process. France has its stable stance in this case too: this conflict should not be solved by the use of force. French President Emmanuel Macron also stated that at the meeting with Nikol Pashinyan. Karabakh conflict should be settled peacefully”.
