DISINFO: France is provoking Armenia into war with Azerbaijan

SUMMARY

Armenia, which is being provoked by some Western countries, especially France, is trying to become a threat and the cause of a new war in the region.

Armenia's radicalisation is the result of the support given by some Western countries. France plans to withdraw Russia from Armenia initially through diplomatic and political means and, in the future, bring its army to the South Caucasus. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan's comments in a speech to the European Parliament's Foreign Relations Committee are also confirmation of what has been noted.

RESPONSE

Disinformation which advances the false narrative of France provoking a war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. No evidence is provided to back up the claims.

France supports peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia and is against military clashes in the region. For example, in March 2022, French Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian stated that France was ready to support negotiations between Yerevan and Baku aimed at a peace deal.

In September 2022, President of France Emmanuel Macron expressed his concern about the new clashes in the border region and asked for the ceasefire to be respected in a telephone conversation with the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.

See more cases such as Ukraine sold chemical weapons to Azerbaijan for the Karabakh war and EU mission in Armenia is an attempt to push out Russian mediation.
