A tragedy has occurred in Khojaly, France must begin to look into it closely,” Laurent Poultier du Mesnil said.

When everyone knows the truth, peace will be achieved. Everyone, including the Armenian people, should finally be aware of the heavy losses and damage inflicted on the Azerbaijani people for a long time,” he added.
