(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 1. The National
Assembly, the lower house of the French Parliament, has unanimously
adopted a biased resolution demanding 'to stop Azerbaijan's
aggression against Armenia', trend reports.
The resolution has been voted in favor by 256 MPs, while zero
voted against it. The co-authors of the draft resolution are the
MPs of the Renaissance party of French President Emmanuel
Macron.
Meanwhile, earlier, the French Senate also adopted a similar
resolution on imposing sanctions against Azerbaijan.
It is pretty obvious that France, being a country with the
tarnished history, supports Armenia, while trying to secure its
interests in the region through the defeated country.
During the Second Karabakh War, and through 30 years of
negotiations, France's biased position was evident – the country
had no interest in resolving the conflict whatsoever.
Commenting on France's biased position towards Azerbaijan, Farid
Shafiyev, Chairman of the Board of the Center for Analysis of
International Relations, said that France has already nullified its
role as a mediator between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
'The document adopted by the lower house of the French
parliament is another biased resolution. However, this document is
of no practical significance. In this situation, the French
Government will not impose any sanctions against Azerbaijan,' he
explained.
Shafiyev also noted that France has been speaking out against
Azerbaijan using various international platforms, but this biased
policy of the country has no particular result.
With such a biased position, France harms its reputation,
especially the reputation in our region, he added.
The resolution adopted earlier, and the pressure policy on
Azerbaijan pursued by France, do not bring any results. France is
considering the possibility of increasing pressure on Azerbaijan by
adopting this document. However, no French resolution can affect
the determination of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and the
will of the Azerbaijani people.
France, with its stained reputation in the international arena,
and with its bloody history, proves once again that it cannot
mediate in any peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia. In the
end, the French, hiding behind so-called high values, are pursuing
their interests.
