France has lost its mediator role within the OSCE Minsk group, said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“French President Emmanuel Macron is a trouble for France. With Macron, France is going through a very dangerous time. I hope that France will get rid of the Macron trouble as soon as possible,” Erdogan said.

He also recalled Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev`s remarks against the French resolution, which said: “If France wants this so much, it can give Marseille to Armenians".

“I give the same advice to France,” Erdogan noted, adding: “As simple as that.”

He reiterated that Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan, and had been under Armenia's occupation for 28 years.
