(MENAFN- AzerNews) By Sabina Mammadli
France, which is accusing Azerbaijan baselessly of committing
war crimes against Armenia, has its own history of war crimes and
crimes against humanity, the Azerbaijani parliament said.
Commenting on the resolution, adopted by the French National
Assembly on November 30, the parliament reminded of France's
atrocities, such as the occupation of territories of over 50 states
in different regions of the world, looting of their wealth, war
crimes, and long history of slavery.
'During the colonial years, the French armed forces mass
murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians because of their
ethnicity and religion and openly engaged in the slave trade. The
committed crimes of genocide are an indelible stain on France's
political history,' the statement added.
Further, the parliament brought up Armenia's 30-year-long policy
of aggression and ethnic cleansing against Azerbaijan, the Khojaly
genocide, the shelling of Azerbaijani cities with ballistic
missiles during the 44-day war, the destruction of 9 cities and
more than 300 villages of Azerbaijan during the occupation, the
heavy mining of the territories, nearly 4,000 missing Azerbaijani
citizens and the lack of information on the locations of mass
graves by Armenia.
The statement stressed that all the mentioned facts clearly show
that it is nothing more than a cheap political order.
