French Senate will consider the need to recognize the "NKR"
Baku/19.11.20/Turan: On 18 November, the French Senate decided to put to a vote a draft resolution "On the need for recognition of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR)", reported telegram channel Sputnik Armenia.
The project was signed by the heads of the five largest political factions of the Senate - Bruno Retalier, Patrick Cannet, Herve Marmel, Eliane Assassi, and Guillaume Gontard.
On the same day, the Paris City Council called for the recognition of Karabakh.
The resolutions of the Senate (upper house of parliament) of France are of a recommendatory nature: the executive branch is not obliged to comply with them, RIA Novosti notes.
Earlier, official Paris supported Armenians in the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. In particular, after the end of the war, French President Emmanuel Macron, in a conversation with Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan, the leader recalled his friendly feelings towards Armenia and its people.
On October 18, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SIR) of Russia, Sergei Naryshkin, said that the United States and its European allies provoke Armenian and Azerbaijani nationalists to break the ceasefire agreements in Nagorno-Karabakh. Naryshkin noted that according to the information available to the service, they are trying to convince the Armenians that peace in the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) is “the defeat of Yerevan”.
On November 17, it was reported that US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian during talks in Paris demanded from Moscow "more clarity about Turkey's role in ending hostilities in the NKR, as well as the terms of the agreement reached."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that Moscow worked in close contact with the co-chairs from the United States and France "from the very beginning of the conflict." Russia has made a lot of efforts to end the hot phase of the conflict. According to him, the State Department's statements about the lack of information reflect the lack of information of their authors, or are a misunderstanding.
Russian President Vladimir Putin considers it an exaggeration to say that Washington and Paris could be offended for not participating in the settlement in Nagorno-Karabakh.
An agreement on the cessation of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh from November 10 was signed on November 9 by President Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
The document, among other things, provides for the introduction of Russian peacekeepers into the region, the exchange of prisoners between the parties to the conflict, the return to Azerbaijan of seven regions around Karabakh and the complete withdrawal of Armenian forces from there and from Karabakh itself.
Official Baku said earlier that it would sever diplomatic relations with the country that recognizes the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh. — 0—
