French President François Hollande stated about the need to continue the talks toward resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, according to Interfax news agency.

“We want to resume negotiations,” Hollande said in Paris, after the signing of documents with Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev. “As a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, we want for the other co-chairs—the US and Russia—to also contribute to this process. We believe that the criteria are known, and that an avenue for resolving this protracted conflict can be found.”
