French Foreign Minister advocates peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan

YEREVAN, August 29. /ARKA/. French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Catherine Colonna favors peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan that will allow the people of Karabakh to live in their homeland with respect for their rights, culture and history.

"France is mobilizing for a just and lasting peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan that will allow the delimitation of the borders of the two countries and allow the population of Nagorno-Karabakh to live there with respect for their rights, culture and history," Colonna was quoted as saying by French ambassador to Armenia Olivier Decottignies in a tweet.

For more than eight months now, 120,000 Armenians in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) have been under complete blockade of Azerbaijan with no food, medicine, fuel, gas or electricity.

The Lachin corridor, the only road connecting Artsakh with Armenia and the rest of the world was initially blocked by Azerbaijani government-sponsored fake “eco-activists” on December 12, 2022.

Azerbaijan officially institutionalized the blockage of the road by an illegal checkpoint installation on April 23, 2023, grossly violating its international obligations.

Azerbaijan continues to demonstrate a willful disregard for the provisions of the Trilateral Statement of November 9, 2020, the ECHR ruling of December 21, 2023, as well as ICJ orders issued on February 22 and July 6, 2023, calling on Azerbaijan to urgently “take all measures at its disposal to ensure unimpeded movement of persons, vehicles and cargo along the Lachin Corridor in both directions.” -0-
