Official Paris does not support the French parliamentarians who intend to visit Crimea, French Foreign Ministry spokesman Romain Nadal said on Tuesday.
"The same as the EU, France does not recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea," Nadal said. "Therefore, the French authorities do not support any initiatives that challenge this position."
Previously, Chairman of the Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots at the Russian State Duma lower house of parliament Leonid Slutsky said that a delegation of French parliamentarians led by Thierry Mariani may again visit Crimea and Sevastopol on Navy Day, which Russia annually celebrates on the last Sunday of July.
"We are preparing another visit of a large delegation of French deputies and senators on Navy Day to Sevastopol at the invitation of the city leadership and command of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The delegation will again be headed by Russia’s friend Thierry Mariani - France’s former transport minister," Slutsky said...
