Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan met with his French counterpart Francois Hollande on November 12.

After the meeting President Sargsyan expressed readiness to deepen relations with France, highly assessing the role of the country’s Armenian community.

French President further accepted the invitation to visit Armenia next year, stressing the need to develop economic cooperation.

Dwelling on Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, Hollande noted that the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will take every effort to renew the negotiation process.

Karabakh talks slowed down following the extradition and pardon of Azerbaiajni axe-killer Ramil Safarov.
