(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 14. France has always
been distinguished by its pro-Armenian position and continues to
take it today, trying to protect the interests of Armenia in the
post-Karabakh conflict period, member of Azerbaijani Parliament
(Milli Majlis) Sevinj Huseynova told .
She noted that France has been openly demonstrating its position
during the 30 years of occupation of Azerbaijani lands, being a
co-chair of OSCE Minks Group and mediator in the conflict
settlement.
'During this period, France didn't act as a mediator, but as a
defender of Armenia and tried to resolve this problem within the
interest of Armenia. And also during the second Karabakh üar,
France stood up for Armenia, violating international law, and
trying to show off the occupier-Armenia as an innocent country.
France has never demonstrated a fair position during the 30 years
of the occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia,' Huseynova
said.
She added that recently France has been trying to play its role
within the framework of the Brussels format, aimed at normalizing
relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
'Thanks to the active participation and serious efforts of
President of the European Council Charles Michel, important steps
were taken within the framework of Brussels format. The world
community is already accepting the new reality, created by
Azerbaijan in the region and agreeing with the position of the
country. Apparently, this situation seriously worries France, which
acts as a defender of Armenia and tries to take its place in this
process,' she said.
'However the Azerbaijani society no longer trusts France. The
reason for that is that during the 30 years of occupation as well
as during the second Karabakh war and post-conflict period
Azerbaijani people witnessed how France unfairly accused Azerbaijan
and took a pro-Armenian position. Did France demonstrate a fair
position, did it fulfill its mission as a mediator, being a
co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group? Definitely not! France has always
taken a one-sided position,' Huseynova said.
