The French Foreign Ministry reacted to installing the Azerbaijani checkpoint near the Hakar bridge, "France regrets that Azerbaijan has created a checkpoint at the entrance to the new road to the Lachin Corridor. It contradicts the obligations assumed by the ceasefire agreements and harms the negotiation process.
France calls on Azerbaijan to fulfill its international obligations to apply the interim measures specified in the February 22 decision of the International Court, which is mandatory. It calls for restoring the free movement of cargo, people, and goods through the Lachin Corridor in both directions.”
