The French representative to the UN said that France calls on Azerbaijan to withdraw its troops from the borders of Armenia to their original positions. His remarks came during the meeting of the Security Council.

According to him, France is concerned about the military actions on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. Azerbaijan has already resulted in dozens of casualties, a number of settlements on the territory of Armenia have been shelled, there are reports of strikes on civilian infrastructure. In the face of this escalation, France is making efforts to facilitate the return and observance of the ceasefire... France calls on Azerbaijan to ensure that its forces are in their original positions. The delimitation of the border should take place exclusively through negotiations. In this case, given the advance of Azerbaijani forces beyond certain segments of the border, Armenia's territorial integrity should be respected. France urges the sides to move forward with delimitation and demarcation discussions in order to prevent new incidents, he said.
