YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 27, ARMENPRESS. France will spare no effort to contribute to the resumption of dialogue between Armenia and Azerbaijan within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship, aimed at the lasting settlement of the conflict and the stabilization of the situation in the South Caucasus, the French Embassy in Armenia said in a statement issued today on the occasion of the anniversary of the 2020 Artsakh War.

“Today, at 11:00, the Embassy of France in Armenia held a moment of silence in memory of the victims of last year’s bloody conflict. We express our sincere condolences and support to the families of the victims and injured”, the statement says.

September 27 marks the anniversary of the 44-Day War unleashed by Azerbaijan against Artsakh. Despite the statement on the ceasefire signed on November 9, Azerbaijan still refuses to return all Armenian captives.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
