He said his visit to Armenia is meant to reiterate to the Armenian people and government French friendship and support.

“Despite the challenges, the obvious hostility and pressure attempts by Russia, Armenia continues its path towards democracy, towards freedom, it is advancing phase by phase. Know that you can always count on us for democratic values,” the French FM said, adding that Paris supports every country that is fighting for these values.

“France is always by your side,” he said.

The French FM said all political directions in France agree on support for Armenia.
