I Expect France to Simply Recognize the Independence of Artsakh: Pashinyan

The Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, expects France to recognize the independence of Artsakh. He made this statement in an interview with the French television channel Tv5Monde.

"I want to emphasize the gratitude of the Armenian people and Armenia and Artsakh for the sincere and straightforward, truth-based positions of the President of France. I can say directly that I expect the President of France and France to recognize the independence of Artsakh, because the concerns raised by Emmanuel Macron have no other solution in the current situation, as this could turn into a major humanitarian disaster. Moreover, it could also spread its terrorist rays and waves more broadly in our region. And of course, this is a direct threat to global security, given the factor of Turkey and its policies. My expectation is indeed that France simply recognizes the independence of Artsakh," Pashinyan said.
