French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot made a statement upon his arrival at the meeting of European foreign ministers in Luxembourg. This was informed by the French ambassador to Armenia, Olivier Decottignies, on X.

"Regarding Azerbaijan, I am very concerned about the rising tensions on the border. I hope that the European [civilian monitoring] mission deployed on the ground can be expanded to be able to observe and contain these tensions. The peace treaty must now be signed, and the arbitrary detainees, the prisoners, must be released," the French FM noted.
