French President does not view support for RA Prime Minister as  interference in Armenia`s internal affairs

ArmInfo. French President Emmanuel Macron does not consider his support for Armenia and RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to be interference in Armenia's internal affairs.

In response to a question from a French journalist at a briefing in  Yerevan, who cited the French president's previous comments about  Russian interference in the Armenian elections, Macron noted a  distinction must be made between interference intended to manipulate  democratic life and an open political stance. "I'm expressing my  support for a partner I've trusted for eight years, just as I did  when I supported Maia Sandu, who opposed non-European elections. I  fully accept this decision. However, this is not the same as  information manipulation, the spread of false information through the  media in an attempt to destabilize the rule of law. That's the  difference," Macron said.

The French president stated that he was openly expressing his stance.  Moreover, the leaders of many countries had previously traveled to  Moldova to support Sandu. "We cannot speak of interference here. On  the contrary, there is interference through foreign agents  commissioned by Moscow, who are trying to falsify democracy," Macron  said.
