French journalists ready to raise international awareness of Artsakh  issue

ArmInfo. French journalist Ulysse Manes and Le Figaro journalist Adrien Briand, at a meeting with Acting President of Artsakh and Speaker of the National Assembly Ashot Danielyan, confirmed their readiness to continue covering events around Artsakh and present the current situation to the  international community.

According to the Artsakh parliament's press service, the meeting took  place at the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) representative office in  Yerevan, where the journalists attended the presentation of the book  "Letters from a Paradise Where There Is No One: Stepanakert-Paris,"  co-authored by Ulysse Manes and writer Hermine Avagyan, a member of  the Artsakh Public Council.

During the meeting, the parties discussed the situation around  Artsakh and the need to raise international awareness. The  interlocutors noted that the French newspaper Le Figaro has covered  this topic since the beginning of the Artsakh movement and continues  to do so, presenting the truth as often as possible.

The Artsakh representatives thanked the journalists for their  activism and constant attention to the Artsakh issue during this  difficult period. They noted that the Artsakh issue remains  unresolved, and it is important that this issue be kept on the  international agenda.

Also present at the meeting were Vice Speaker of the Artsakh National  Assembly Gagik Baghunts, Advisor to the Speaker of the NKR Parliament  Ara Puluzyan, and other members of the Public Council, Nare Simonyan  and Alvard Zakaryan.

As a reminder, on September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan launched another act  of aggression against Artsakh under the pretext of an "anti-terrorist  operation." This followed a nearly 10-month blockade of the republic.   Since the enemy aggression that began in the fall of 2020, which  culminated in the complete ethnic cleansing of Artsakh in September  2023, over 150,000 Artsakh residents have lost their homeland and  become refugees.
