French government has presented its position over the two anti­Armenian resolutions included in PACE winter session to French MPs at Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), stating that voting in favor of those resolutions at PACE will be not correct position towards friendly Armenia.

“Armenpress” reports French Secretary of State for development and Francophonie Annick Girardin told the journalists about this at the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex. “A number of states are included in PACE. France cannot interfere in their affairs. Our country is represented in that institution and we have told the French MPs that the adoption of those resolutions will be a not correct position towards friendly Armenia”, Madame Girardin said, urging to wait for the end of PACE discussions.

“I wish to end my speech in this way: Long live Armenian­French friendship”, the Secretary of State said. PACE winter session will start on January 25. Two anti­Armenian reports are included in the session agenda. One of the draft resolutions is authored by British MP Robert Walter on “Escalation of violence in Nagorno­Karabakh and the other occupied territories of Azerbaijan”. The second draft resolution is titled “Inhabitants of frontier regions of Azerbaijan are deliberately deprived of water” by MP Milica Marković (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Anti­Armenian resolution will be voted on January 26.
