French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed on Monday during the phone call with Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan the US-brokered Armenian-Azerbaijani agreement on normalization.
“I once again welcomed the agreement reached — thanks to the involvement of the United States — between Armenia and Azerbaijan aimed at normalizing relations between the two countries,” Macron said on X.
He said he hoped the agreement would quickly lead to the signing and ratification of a peace treaty that respects the interests of both sides.
“In this context, I reaffirmed my full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Armenia, as well as France’s commitment to peace and prosperity in the South Caucasus,” the French president said.
Macron said he reiterated France’s readiness to support and contribute to ongoing efforts, including in the area of strengthening interconnections, in coordination with all regional actors and partners.
The two leaders also agreed to continue deepening bilateral relations in all areas.
