French President Francois Hollande said some issues are still impeding the resolution of the conflict.

“My visits to Azerbaijan and Armenia are efforts towards the resolution of this conflict. France has friendly relations with Azerbaijan and Armenia, we can’t choose between them. We offered to reconsider the resolution of the conflict at the meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents. France has always initiated the resolution of the conflict. We are also considering the issue of Ukraine. We will make the final decision on the Ukraine crisis in the coming days,” Hollande said during a press conference in Baku, APA reported.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in turn said that his country “won’t allow the establishment of the second Armenian state in the territory of Azerbaijan”.

“We respect the principle of self-determination, but the Armenians have once had it. We won’t allow the establishment of the second Armenian state in the territory of Azerbaijan. I believe that France and the other co-chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk Group will continue their efforts to resolve the conflict, it will be resolved soon and people will return to their lands,” he said.
