ArmInfo. Francois Pouponi will head the France-Artsakh Friendship Circle . French parliamentarian Pouponi announced this on his Facebook page.
"It is a great pride and honor for me to replace my friend and colleague Guy Teissier as Chairman of the France-Artsakh Friendship Circle. I am grateful to my predecessor, who was able to unite outside the Circle, as his actions contributed to the fact that our National Assembly called on the government to recognize this republic. I will remain committed to the cause of Armenia and, in particular, Artsakh, as always.
My goal will be to restore the inalienable rights of the indigenous population of Artsakh to live freely and safely in their ancestral lands. But the most urgent, of course, will be to do everything to achieve the release of prisoners of war, " said Pouponi, adding that, together with his colleagues, he submitted to the French National Assembly a proposal to adopt a resolution on this matter.
