Jean-Francois Charpentier regrets the closure of OSCE Yerevan Office
French Ambassador to Armenia H.E. Jean-Francois Charpentier regrets the closure of OSCE Yerevan Office. He said not only France, but also several countries really are upset over that decision.
“The Office was carrying out very important and interesting work, and it not only was implementing right management and successful work in democracy field, but also it included wide range of spheres, such nature protection, economy and etc.
In this sense I attach importance to the recent visit of OSCE Secretary General to Armenia. He met with the country’s highranking leadership, a number of issues were discussed which will allow to continue the cooperation in future as well,” the French Ambassador said.
OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier announced on May 18 that the organization has to launch the closing process of the OSCE Yerevan Office since consensus was not achieved over the Office’s further mandate. The OSCE Yerevan Office was opened in 2000.
