ArmInfo.Deputies of the French parliament of Armenian origin actively contribute to the efforts of lobbying organizations promoting the international recognition of the  Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey. The deputy of the National Assembly of France Daniel Ghazaryan stated this at the press conference in Yerevan.

"However, our ultimate goal is the recognition of the Armenian  Genocide by Turkey itself," the MP stressed. She also stated that the  MPs of the French National Assembly of Armenian origin, as far as  possible, contribute to the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh  conflict.

Ghazaryan noted that President Emmanuel Macron only recently took  office and had not yet had time to actively "plunge" into the  Karabakh process, but France, as the country co-chairing the OSCE  Minsk Group, always played a key role in the negotiations. "France is  well aware of the importance of the right of the people of Artsakh to  self-determination," she assured, while the deputy noted that the  final settlement of the conflict depends only on the parties  themselves.

She also noted that she will visit Karabakh with pleasure, and she is  not at all intimidated by the prospect of getting into the black list  of Azerbaijan.

Another priority area of activity of the Armenian MPs of the French  parliament, according to Ghazaryan, is the promotion of economic  cooperation between the two countries. "Activating the economic life  of Armenia, improving its indicators will reduce the growth of  emigration from the country," she noted.
