In an interview with Report, French Ambassador to Azerbaijan Zachary Gross commented on the French Senate's adoption of a draft resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh: - How do you assess the resolution adopted by the Senate yesterday, which contradicts the position of the French Foreign Ministry?
- French Prime Minister Jean-Baptiste Lemoine announced the government's point of view on the Senate resolution. The position of the French government has not changed. France does not recognize the "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic". - How do you think this will affect the post-conflict phase of the conflict?
- As Minister Lemua noted, the decision of the Senate will not affect Nagorno-Karabakh in any way. - France is a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group. Doesn't this Senate resolution call into question France's loss of neutrality and balance as a mediator? -No. The resolution does not change the official position of France. The French government is committed to a neutral and balanced approach to the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh.
