ArmInfo.Artsakh Republic President Arayik Harutyunyan, who is on a working visit to the French Republic, held a press conference in Paris on December 7, which was attended by about two dozen leading French media representatives.
According to the press service of the Artsakh leader, the head of state pointed to the regular and frequent manifestations of Azerbaijan's aggressive behavior towards the people of Artsakh, the consistent creation of humanitarian problems. He listed the challenges that pose a serious threat to the existence of the people of Artsakh in their homeland. According to the president, he wants to send a message through France to all European states about the need to take urgent measures to prevent the above-mentioned arrogant behavior of Azerbaijan, which is undoubtedly supported by Turkey.
"We understand that Europe has oil and gas interests with Azerbaijan, but the essence of our message is to respect the right to self-determination and the existence of our people and prevent the implementation of the genocidal and expansionist policy of Azerbaijan. In this sense, it is appropriate to mention the attacks and occupation over the past two years not only of the sovereign territory of Artsakh, but also of the Republic of Armenia>, Arayik Harutyunyan said. During the meeting, the President answered journalists' questions, and also gave a separate interview to the France-Presse state news agency and France-24 TV channel
