ArmInfo. The court of the  French city of Lyon canceled the friendship agreements between the  French cities of Decines-Charpieu, Saint-Etienne and the Karabakh  Shushi and Martuni districts, signed on September 25, 2017 and  October 21, 2018.

According to the justification of the court, these agreements  contradict Article 73 of the French Constitution, which regulates the  code of territorial units of the country and other laws of France.   To note, the French courts have already canceled 9 such agreements  signed between the cities of France and the authorities of  Nagorno-Karabakh. The agreements were canceled due to the efforts of  Azerbaijan.
