Valerie Boyer: The conflict is frozen, but not resolved

ArmInfo. The current situation in Armenia is unacceptable for the international community, Deputy Chair of France-Armenia Friendship Group Valerie Boyer stated  this in an interview with the press service of the Armenian  Parliament.

She stressed that today Turkey is not only a partner of Azerbaijan,  but also one of the instigators of the war.  "The conflict is frozen,  but not resolved," she said.

According to Boyer, Azerbaijan's goal is to strangle Armenia by  cutting off the only border with Iran. The MP defined what is  happening as a continuation of the unpunished genocide.

"We have various tools at our disposal to influence this situation.  The first is diplomacy. The Senate approved the resolution on the  recognition of Artsakh on December 25 last year and the National  Assembly on December 3. The second is the formation of a Friendship  Group with Artsakh, which will give an opportunity to talk about  Artsakh and its legal status. We also have other instruments within  the EU, "she said.

In turn, Bruno Retailleau, Chairman of the Republican Party faction  at the French Senate, noted that the French Senate was the first in  Europe to adopt a resolution recognizing the independence of Artsakh,  which can guarantee the future of the Artsakh people. "With this  resolution, we say that we support Armenia and the Armenian people.  You are not alone, we are with you and we will protect your  interests, " the Senator said.

He noted that France and the OSCE Minsk Group have to stop Aliyev,  since he attacked not only Artsakh, but also Armenia. "The  international community must do everything to stop Aliyev and his  ally Erdogan. I hope France will have an important role here", Bruno  Retailleau emphasized.

It should be reminded that on November 25 the French Senate adopted a  resolution recognizing the independence of the Republic of Artsakh.  305 MPs voted the adoption of the resolution, 1 parliamentarian  . Thus, the resolution was adopted.

The parliamentarians condemned the aggression of Azerbaijan and  Turkey against the Armenian people, calling on the government of the  Fifth Republic to guarantee the right of the people of  Nagorno-Karabakh to self-determination.
