We Will Stand by Armenia and My Friend Pashinyan

During his speech at the Munich Security Conference, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he will continue to stand by Armenia and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

“In a few days, it will be the anniversary of Russia's illegal aggression against Ukraine, and while we cannot draw final conclusions, we can summarize this year and share certain perspectives. Naturally, the focus of my speech will be the war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine, but I must emphasize that we do not forget the ongoing wars in the Caucasus, the Middle East, Africa, the fight against terrorism, nuclear security, and other issues.

Our task today is to explain, to make clear that Russia is a force that spreads instability and chaos, which it does not only in Ukraine but also in the Caucasus, the Middle East, and Africa, with the involvement of groups like the Wagner Group in the latter case.

How can we believe that the challenges in the Caucasus can be overcome by the neo-colonial Russia that I have just described? I say this in the presence of my friend, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, alongside whom we will continue to stand and continue to act,” Macron stated.
