France on Tuesday urged Russia to clear up "ambiguities" over the ceasefire it brokered between Armenia and Azerbaijan to end fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh, notably regarding the role of Turkey and foreign fighters.
"We must remove the ambiguities over refugees, the delimitation of the ceasefire, the presence of Turkey, the return of fighters and on the start of negotiations on the status of Nagorno-Karabakh," French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told parliament.
Russian President Vladimir Putin brokered the ceasefire between Azerbaijan and Armenia which allowed Azerbaijan to consolidate gains after several weeks of fighting but the talks did not involve France or any other Western country.
