Paris/17.11.18/Turan: France does not recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and does not maintain any relationship with those who consider themselves its leaders, the representative of the French Foreign Ministry said.

"As a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, France is working to find a peaceful and sustainable solution and fulfills its mission as an intermediary impartially," RIA-Novosti quotes the representative of the Foreign Ministry. Earlier the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry issued a statement accusing France
