President Ilham Aliyev has received the credentials of the new
French ambassador to Azerbaijan, Bernard Dushssaut. France approached
resolution of the Nagornyy Karabakh [conflict] sensitively, and at
the same time, as an OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing country, France
bore its responsibility on this issue well, Aliyev said.

The ambassador expressed his confidence that economic and political
relations between the two countries would further develop successfully.
