France has welcomed the agreement reached in Washington between
the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan, mediated by US President
Donald Trump, and expressed support for dismantling the OSCE Minsk
Group structures, Azernews reports.
The French Embassy in Azerbaijan issued a statement stressing that the normalization of
relations and the signing of a peace treaty at the earliest
opportunity would be an important step toward transforming the
South Caucasus into a region of peace and prosperity.
“France applauds the announcement made today in Washington,
facilitated by President Trump, regarding the agreement between
President Aliyev and Prime Minister Pashinyan to normalize
relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The progress achieved, thanks to the commitment of the United
States, represents a significant step forward. We urge the swift
signing and ratification of a peace treaty between Armenia and
Azerbaijan to finalize this process. In this context, France
supports the joint call from both parties to begin dismantling the
structures of the OSCE Minsk Group.
The normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan,
along with the development of regional ties and the reopening of
borders—while respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty
of each state—should enable the South Caucasus to transform into a
region of peace and prosperity for its people. France is committed
to actively contributing to this process, alongside its European
partners, particularly within the framework of the European
Political Union.”
