France calls on Azerbaijan to reopen humanitarian corridor with Armenia
SAEDNEWS: France's foreign minister on Friday urged Azerbaijan to restore "unhindered movement" through the Lachin corridor, the only land link between Armenia and the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave.

Brussels, SAEDNEWS: Azerbaijan established a checkpoint at the entry of the corridor last weekend, a move that Armenia denounced as a breach of the latest ceasefire between the two arch-foes. France's top diplomat Catherine Colonna said during a news conference in Yerevan that Armenia's territorial integrity must be respected.

Her Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan said for his part that free movement "should be restored".

Colonna arrived in Armenia after first visiting Baku, where she was hosted by Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev.

"The purpose of the visit is to reaffirm France's support for the Armenian government and people," Colonna said (Source: FRANCE 24).
