In an interview with LCI, France’s Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Yves Le Drian said Turkey must not limit itself to words, but must take real actions that will allow to improve the situation in several regions of the world and have a favorable impact on its relations with the European Union.

“Turkey’s statements on reconciliation are absolutely not enough. We need real actions,” he said, adding that among the actions are “quite simple actions that need to be taken in the Mediterranean and Libya, as well as in Nagorno-Karabakh.” The minister stated that Turkey must withdraw Syrian militants from Nagorno-Karabakh who were sent with Turkey’s support, TASS reported.

Le Drian said France has many disagreements with Turkey and mentioned the country’s ‘expansionary aspirations’.
