France Releases Map Advising Citizens Against Visiting Certain Areas in Armenia

France has advised its citizens to refrain from visiting areas in Armenia bordering Azerbaijan due to the potential for renewed military escalation.

In a public statement, the French government noted, "Travel to border regions with Armenia and Azerbaijan (Nakhchivan Autonomous Region) as well as Vayots Dzor, Syunik, and southern Gegharkunik is strongly discouraged."

The map issued by France marks areas considered highly dangerous in red and regions of medium danger in orange.
