Anne-Claire Legendre, spokesperson for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spoke about France’s efforts to unblock the Lachin corridor in an interview with RTVI News.
“Today we are extremely concerned about the blockade of the Lachin corridor. We constantly demand that this corridor be unblocked, that humanitarian food aid be delivered to the population. There is a real danger of a serious humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh. In addition, we support the resumption of negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan and we want that to happen,” said Legendre.
She recalled the European mediation, which France unconditionally supports.
“You also know, and it is thanks to the President of the Republic, that the representatives of the two countries were able to talk to each other within the framework of the summit held last October, during which we decided to send an EU mission to the border from Armenia to ease tensions and ensure the inviolability of the borders,” said the representative of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to her, France’s support for Armenia is clearly expressed.
“It has been expressed at the highest state level. You know that the President of the Republic personally made every effort so that we could resume negotiations, so that this situation could be resolved and tensions reduced,” concluded Legendre.
