Permanent representative of Nagorno Karabakh in France Hovhannes Gevorgian says everyday work is done in France in order to present the true picture about the Nagorno Karabakhi-Azerbaijani contact line.
According to him, works are carried out in a number of directions: political arena and mass media.
“As you know, the France-Nagorno Karabakh friendship circle operates in France, and we have very strong ties with it. Everyday contact is maintained with both the circle and other French political figures. The second direction is mass media. Through the mass media, we deliver the true picture and real information about Nagorno Karabakh to the French society. Information is an important part of politics and diplomacy; therefore we carry out everyday work to deliver the truth to wide circles,” he said.
He also noted that the Azerbaijani-Turkish lobby is very active in France, however France is among those countries, where the Embassies of both Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh are present, and a great number of French-Armenians. Therefore, with joint efforts they achieve results.
“We focus on the real story of the conflict, on our positions of the settlement, which not always is known to the French political figures or the wide circle of the public. In detail, we present that the people of Nagorno Karabakh are being threatened by the leadership of Azerbaijan for 25 years, and generally, the hatred towards Armenians is being promoted and deepened in Azerbaijan. It is obvious that Nagorno Karabakh cannot return to its previous status,” he added.
In addition to this, the local Armenian community is focusing on the Azerbaijani war crimes, the beheading of the Armenian soldier and targeting of civilians.
He said the French society must know about all the war crimes, atrocities, violation of international human rights of Azerbaijan.
