French ambassador to Azerbaijan Pascal Meunier has said that Paris believes that progress will be achieved in the negotiations on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and a solution will be found, according to the local press.

"Progress in Nagorno-Karabakh settlement depends on the political will of the sides. We can assist it, but without political will of both countries it will be impossible to find a solution," he said.

The peaceful solution of the Karabakh conflict was the priority issue discussed at the meeting between French and Azerbaijani presidents in Paris on September 18, the ambassador said.

"We cannot say that France remains inactive in finding a solution to Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as the latest meeting between [the mediating] OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia was held in Paris," Meunier stressed.
