France interested in Georgia`s partnership to build trust between Azerbaijan and Armenia
Georgia is attempting to overcome a difficult situation between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the region, French President Francois Hollande said in Tbilisi on May 13.
"Together, we are looking for a way out of this situation," he said. "We look forward to a partnership with Georgia in this matter."
The French president recalled that his country is a member of the Minsk Group on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council`s four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
