A protest rally in defense of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) was held Thursday in front of the Azerbaijani embassy in France.

During the rally, French MP Francois Pupponi, who chairs the France-Artsakh Friendship Circle, also delivered an address. In particular, he noted that if Artsakh falls, Armenia will also fall, and this is inadmissible.

The lawmaker added that France must recognize the independence of Artsakh.
