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
