Hollande urges Aliyev to work hard to restore Armenia’s confidence
Azeri President Ilham Aliyev met with French President Francois Hollande in Paris. Hollande told Aliyev to work hard to restore Armenia’s confidence and pursue the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, the official
presidential website reported, according to Asbarez.
More than 2,000 gathered in front of the Azerbaijan’s Embassy in Paris Tuesday to protest Azeri President Aliyev’s visit to France.
The protesters called on the French government to press Aliyev to immediately incarcerate Ramil Safarov, the axe-murderer who killed
Armenian soldier Gurgen Margaryan in 2004 during a NATO Partnership for Peace mission in Budapest.
The demonstration and the Armenian community’s opposition to Aliyev’s visit was widely covered by the French press.
