(MENAFN- AzerNews) By Fatima Hasanova
The French National Assembly in Paris was picketed on November
28 by Azerbaijani Diaspora representatives in a protest at the
adoption of the anti-Azerbaijani resolution, Azernews reports via
social media reports.
The protesters demanded that the French MPs take an unbiased
stance, say 'no' to terrorism, not sow discord between nations and
remain at least neutral if they cannot contribute to the regional
peace.
Participants held posters with slogans 'We demand justice!', 'We
say NO to terrorism!', 'The National Assembly must be fair!',
'France must be neutral to establish peace in the South Caucasus!',
'Stop Armenian terrorism!', 'Do not follow the Armenian lies!',
'Put an end to double standards!', 'Do not support the aggressor
country!'.
The protesters also displayed images of Azerbaijani civilians
killed by the Armenian Armed Forces and footage of the Khojaly
genocide, including photos of brutally killed Azerbaijani women and
children.
Speaking on behalf of the Azerbaijani community, diaspora
activists called on the French MPs to be fair and hold a balanced
debate.
To recap, on November 15, the French Senate adopted a draft law
on the imposition of sanctions against Azerbaijan, based on Article
34-1 of the French Constitution. Out of 296 members, who
participated in the meeting, 295 voted in favor of the project and
one voted against it. The authors of the project demand that
'Azerbaijan and its partners respect the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of Armenia, as well as the return of all
Armenian prisoners of war'.
