Putin told Hollande the results of the June 20 three-party meeting with the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia, Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan, in St. Petersburg. The two expressed their hope that the results achieved at that meeting will contribute to the peace process.
It has been agreed to continue active joint work within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group in that important sphere. The two presidents also discussed other urgent issues such as efforts to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. The French President told Putin about the EU meeting on the UK referendum.
