“After the September attack, the French senate adopted a resolution and condemned it, and it also mentioned the need to recognize the independence of Artsakh. “Now that the Azerbaijanis have closed the Lachin Corridor, don’t you think it is the right time to recognize the independence of Artsakh”? At the meeting with journalists in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, a similar question was asked to Yaël Braun-Pivet, the speaker of the French National Assembly, who arrived in Yerevan.
The Speaker of the National Assembly of France first mentioned that both the Senate and the National Assembly had adopted resolutions condemning Azerbaijan’s aggression on the borders of Armenia and the closure of the Lachin Corridor. “As for the recognition of the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, you know the position of France. Today, France does not recognize that independence according to the international law to which we are subject.” Yaël Braun-Pivet answered another question: why does France not impose sanctions on Azerbaijan and Aliyev along with critical political statements? “We believe that peaceful settlement and restoration of dialogue is essential. It is not appropriate to use other ways until the way of dialogue is entirely exhausted.
