The French Foreign Ministry has condemned the attack by an
Armenian extremist group on the Azerbaijani embassy in Paris,
Azernews reports, citing French Ambassador Zacharie Gross.
Gross posted the statement of the French Foreign Ministry on the
incident on his official twitter account on September 20.
'We deplore the unacceptable incidents that targeted the embassy
of Azerbaijan in Paris. The French authorities have taken all
measures to re-establish the security of the embassy and enable it
to function normally. They remain vigilant so that such incidents
do not occur again,' the statement reads .
Following the recent border clashes between Azerbaijani and
Armenian military forces in response to the latter's provocation, a
number of Azerbaijani missions overseas have come under attack and
were vandalized by Armenian fanatical groups.
On September 18, Armenian extremists in France stormed the
building of the Azerbaijani embassy in Paris.
The attack on the Azerbaijani embassy in Paris by a group of
radical extremist forces of the Armenian diaspora in France was
demonstrably accompanied by a gross violation of French laws and
generally recognized international legal norms.
The embassy building sustained material damage during the
attack, posing a threat to the diplomatic mission's normal
operations and the lives of its staff.
On September 19, 2022, French ambassador to Azerbaijan Zacharie
Gross was summoned to the Foreign Ministry, and the note of the
protest over the attack on the Azerbaijani embassy in Paris by
extremist Armenian groups was delivered to the ambassador.
Baku condemned the development of conditions for extremist
Armenian organizations' acts and the failure to prevent them in
time. Deep regret was expressed for France's failure to fulfill its
obligation to ensure the security of diplomatic missions by the
host country in accordance with the 1961 Vienna Convention on
Diplomatic Relations.
Also, it was demanded that the act of vandalism, which endangers
the diplomatic mission and its staff, should be thoroughly
investigated by the French law-enforcement agencies, an appropriate
legal assessment should be issued, the guilty individuals should be
brought to justice, and compensation should be provided for the
damage caused.
