The French Embassy to Armenia has refuted reports on appointment of Serge Smessov as the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chair.

“The information is untrue,” the Embassy's press office told a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent.

On May 17, the Azeri Press Agency circulated a report that France will replace its current Co-chair Bernard Fassier by Ambassador to Armenia Serge Smessov.
