On September 27, President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron called President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.

Axar.az reports that Emmanuel Macron expressed his country's concern over the armed conflict on the Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line and stressed the importance of resolving the conflict through negotiations.

The head of state Ilham Aliyev noted that the Armenian leadership was deliberately violating the negotiation process. The statement of the Armenian leadership that "Nagorno-Karabakh is Armenia" dealt a serious blow to the talks. The statement "Azerbaijan should hold talks with Nagorno-Karabakh" is an attempt to change the format of the talks, which is also unacceptable, as stated by the leadership of the Minsk Group.
