I had a telephone conversation with the President of France, and he said he is considering moving the issue to the United Nations Security Council. This is what acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said during today’s special session of the National Assembly, presenting the situation created in Syunik and Gegharkunik Provinces.

“The President of France said France is also ready to provide military aid as part of the international efforts for a settlement of the issue, under the mandate of the United Nations, according to necessity. I believe it’s important for the members of the UN Security Council to be in contact with each other and discuss the topic,” he said.
