ArmInfo."FAKE NEWS - Our travel advisory for Armenia has not changed since July, 18, 2023." Ambassador of France to Armenia Olivier Decottignies, wrote in his account on X (formerly Twitter).
Earlier, a message was spread on social networks with a reference to the diplomatic representation of the French Republic, which allegedly advises its citizens against visit to bordering areas with Azerbaijan.
In recent days the situation in the border regions of Armenia, as well as around Artsakh, has sharply worsened against the backdrop of incoming reports about the concentration of manpower and equipment of the Azerbaijani armed forces on the borders. Considering the current situation, even the visit of RA Defense Minister Suren Papikyan to Cyprus was cancelled.
On September 1, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, using UAVs, mortars and small arms, attacked the advanced units of the Armenian Armed Forces, as a result of which three soldiers of the Armenian army were killed and two more were injured.
