YEREVAN. – French Ambassador to Armenia Henri Reynaud urged the parties to adhere to the existing format of talks to resolve Karabakh conflict.  

His response came to a request to comment on Azerbaijan’s attempts to switch the peace process into PACE format.

During the Friday press conference, he quoted the recent statement by the heads of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing states, urging the sides to find solution within the existing format and within the reached arrangements.

Henri Reynaud said meetings of the Armenian and Azerbaijani parliamentary delegations within PACE are not bringing changes. The sides have to try to seek ways of solution exclusively within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, according to the Helsinki and Madrid principles.

“I urge the side to take this path. There is no alternative way,” he said.
