The French president welcomed his Armenian counterpart, Armen Sarkisian, after having previously spoken by phone with the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nicole Pasinian, and the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev.

On Wednesday, Armenia ruled out “any diplomatic solution” with Azerbaijan, amid unsuccessful international efforts by the international community to negotiate a lasting ceasefire.
