French National Assembly Speaker Richard Ferrand today hosted a delegation led by Armenian Parliament Speaker Alen Simonyan on a visit in Paris to discuss recent Azerbaijani border incursions into Armenia.
Simonyan, according to a statement released by his office, noted that the latest attacks are a continuation of Azerbaijan’s policy to occupy the territories of Armenia that began in May of this year. He thanked France for the attention paid by leaders of different government branches, as well as public figures, regarding the protection of Armenian prisoners of war, civilians, return of Artsakh-Armenian refugees, and the protection of Artsakh’s historical and cultural heritage now under Azerbaijani control.
Ferrand said France has been and remains Armenia’s friend, regardless of its geographical distance.
The Armenian delegation is in France at the invitation of the French Senate President, Gérard Larcher, and will attend a conference entitled “Armenia, One Year Later” to be held under the auspices of the President of the French Senate.
