French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna addressed the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh during a joint press conference with the Armenian Foreign Ministry on October 3. She strongly condemned the events in Nagorno-Karabakh as a blatant violation of international law.

Colonna reiterated the importance of clarifying that the departures from the region were not voluntary, as falsely claimed by Azerbaijan and Russia. Instead, she emphasized that these were forced departures made under the threat of force.

Colonna firmly rejected these misleading assertions, stating that such lies do not satisfy anyone.
