On a visit to Armenia, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said Paris had agreed to deliver military equipment to Yerevan. Meanwhile, Armenia's parliament voted to join the International Criminal Court, to the dismay of Russia.
Colonna travelled to Armenia on Tuesday after Azerbaijani forces last month swept through the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh and secured the surrender of Armenian separatist forces that had controlled the mountainous region for decades.
