The French Senate will consider a draft resolution on the recognition  of the independence of Nagorno- Karabakh on November 25

ArmInfo. The French Senate has received a draft resolution on the recognition of the  independence of Nagorno-Karabakh. This is reported by TASS with  reference to one of the authors of the submitted document, Senator  Bruno Retayo.

In his words, on November 25 the Senate will consider a resolution on  the recognition of the Artsakh Republic by France. "Only the  recognition of independence will reliably guarantee the rights and  freedoms of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh in the face of Turkish  Islamist expansionism," the senator said.  Note, however, that  resolutions of the Senate, as a rule, are of a recommendatory nature.  The authors of the document are five senators representing different  factions: Bruno Retaio (leader of the Republican group), Patrick  Kanner, Herve Marcel (leader of the "Union of Centrists" group), as  well as Eliane Assassi and Guillaume Gautard. In mid-October, the  draft on the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh was submitted to the  National Assembly - the lower house of parliament.

France is the co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is looking for  ways of a peaceful settlement in Karabakh. French President Emmanuel  Macron announced the deployment of militants of jihadist groups from  Syria to Karabakh.

The war in Nagorno-Karabakh has officially stopped, Russia, as the  guarantor of the security of the region, has introduced peacekeeping  troops there.
