BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 26. Azerbaijani
Ambassador to France Rahman Mustafayev called on the Armenian
community of France to support efforts aimed at ensuring peace,
security and development in the South Caucasus region, Trend reports.
Speaking about the results of the Brussels meeting of the
leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and the EU held on May 23 in an
interview with the French radio Courtoisie radio station, which
mainly reflects the positions of the extreme right, conservative
Catholic circles in France, Mustafayev said that active and
constructive dialogue between Baku and Yerevan under the auspices
of the EU is the dominant trend of the peace process in the South
Caucasus.
The ambassador also spoke in detail about the challenges facing
Azerbaijan at the stage of post-conflict development [following the
2020 Second Karabakh War], including the problems of mine
clearance, the search for missing persons, and the progress of
restoration work in the previously occupied districts.
In this context, he especially noted the role of France, which
provided significant financial assistance to the demining process
in the liberated territories.
Taking into account the interests and questions of the radio
audience, Mustafayev also spoke about the history of Christianity
in Azerbaijan, noting that the attempts of the French media and the
expert community to oppose 'Muslim Azerbaijan to Christian Armenia'
are unacceptable.
He reminded that Azerbaijan has more than four-century-old
Christian history, and Christian monuments, churches and
monasteries of Caucasian Albania [the medieval state on the modern
territory of Azerbaijan] are the most important part of
Azerbaijan's cultural and religious heritage.
