France deplores the incidents which occurred in Nagorno-Karabakh, particularly the armed incidents and troop movements in the Parukh and Khramort regions. It asks for the forces which have reportedly advanced to withdraw to their initial positions in accordance with the ceasefire declaration of 9 November 2020.

It was also concerned to note that the gas supply for the population of Nagorno-Karabakh has been cut off again, and asks for the connection supplying that population to be restored. The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs raised the matter during his recent meetings with his Armenian and Azerbaijani counterparts and called for the supply to be restored as soon as possible, at a time when weather conditions remain harsh for the people living there.

France is in permanent contact with Armenia and Azerbaijan to promote dialogue and progress on the various issues being discussed.
