2022-04-20 10:48:42 The Union of Armenian Organizations of France (Conseil de coordination des organisations arméniennes de France (CCAF)) will support the candidacy of Emmanuel Macron in the second round of elections

“A few days before the presidential term, the CCAF Co-Cahirs would like to announce that on April 24 we will vote for Emmanuel Macron, the head of state who had the political courage to establish a national day of remembrance of the Armenian Genocide in France.

This choice also takes into account the outgoing president's attachment to the French of Armenian descent, who are committed to the rights of Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, which are in danger, and the fight against denial.

This decision does not detract from the deep disagreements we have with the Foreign Minister, including the unbearable "neutrality" demonstrated by Jean-Yves Le Drian during the 44-day war, which shocked all the friends of Armenia.

But this includes the explanations given by the President to CCAF, his position during the military offensive of Azerbaijan and the incursions of its army into the territory of Armenia, as well as his efforts to establish peace, release prisoners of war, the development of Armenia, and its territorial integrity, the integrity and right to self-determination of Nagorno-Karabakh by the principles set out by the Minsk Group co-chaired by France.

We are also sensitive to his refusal to see Turkey in Europe and to his vigilance regarding the export of Armenophobia to France, which led to the dissolution of the "Gray Wolves".

We hope that the next term will mark even clearer compliance with the country's foreign policy,” the statement reads.
