ArmInfo. France will no longer accept refugees from Armenia, Turkey
and Serbia.

Le Monde reports that the key argument of OFPRA (the French Office for
the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons) is that Armenia,
Turkey and Serbia comply with the freedom and democracy principles,
are constitutional states and respect human rights and fundamental
freedoms. Georgia was also in the list but was later removed.

Thus, the representatives of the above mentioned countries are
actually deprived of the right to apply for shelter in France and
can be expelled from the country before the court takes the decision.
