France will take Azerbaijan's fresh offensive against Armenia to the UN Security Council.

"France will bring the situation before the United Nations Security Council, of which it currently holds the presidency," the Elysée Place said Tuesday, September 13.

The Armenian Security Council earlier appealed to Russia, the UN and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a regional structure led by Russia, which is supposed to guarantee the territorial sovereignty of its members(Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan).

The Armenian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday morning that the situation had not changed significantly, with the Azerbaijani military continuing to shell the Armenian positions and civilian homes. Photos published online show damage to residential buildings in villages situated the closest to the border.
