France welcomes resumption of Karabakh talks
The OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs demonstrated a constructive approach in a search for compromise that could serve as a basis for the Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution, France's Ambassador to Armenia Serge Smessov said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"Their efforts resulted in submission of Madrid principles," he said.

"Presidential elections in Armenia and Azerbaijan block any possibility of progress this year. But we so welcome resumption of talks, marked with the presidential meeting on June 6," the Ambassador said.
