France does not recognize the so-called 'Nagorno-Karabakh Republic', the agreements signed by the local executive bodies do not impose any responsibility on the French government for their implementation and these agreements do not have any legal force, the French Ambassador to Azerbaijan Aurelia Bouchez said, according to the French diplomatic mission in Azerbaijan.
The French ambassador once again expressed sincere condolences to the families and friends of the people who died during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and sympathy to the displaced persons.
"As for the visits of the mayors of French cities to Nagorno-Karabakh, the position of France is clear and unequivocal. As a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, France, based on impartial position, continues the mediation mission between Armenia and Azerbaijan," the message says.
