BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 30 . Representatives
of the Political forces represented in the French Parliament
appealed to President of France Emmanuel macron and made unfounded
accusations against Azerbaijan, said MP Soltan Mammadov at today's
session of the Azerbaijani Parliament, trend reports.
According to Mammadov, the appeal contains ideas that contradict
the fundamental principles of international law and express a call
for aggression against Azerbaijan's Sovereignty and territorial
integrity.
“This confirms that France continues its anti-Azerbaijani policy
and provocations against our country,” he noted.
The MP also noted that biased documents were passed in both
houses of the French parliament last month.
'The solemn reception of a representative of the Armenian
separatist regime, which continues its criminal activities in the
territories of Azerbaijan, where Russian peacekeepers are
temporarily stationed, as well as the biased statement of the
French Foreign Ministry regarding the protest of Azerbaijani
eco-activists on the Lachin road, indicate that France openly
supports separatism,” Mammadov explained.
He further said that the position of the persons in the French
Parliament that expresses open disrespect for the territorial
integrity and independence of another country should first of all
be condemned by the French Government.
“Unfortunately, we haven't seen an adequate response from French
Government. This proves that France does not intend to contribute
to normalizing relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia. On the
contrary, France is trying to use all the tools to create an
atmosphere of tension in the South Caucasus, hindering initiatives
to ensure peace in the region,” the MP added.
“A group of friendship with Azerbaijan has already been formed
in the National Assembly of France. We managed to establish active
relations with the previous staff. Visits of members of the French
parliament to our country, including the liberated territories,
were organized,” Mammadov reminded.“We tried to make the most of
these connections in bringing Azerbaijani truths to the French
public. On behalf of the working group, I express my gratitude to
the leadership and speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament for
supporting our activities from the first days.”
He pointed out that the working group of the Azerbaijani
Parliament on Azerbaijani-French inter-parliamentary relations, in
order to convey the position of Azerbaijan, considers it necessary
to establish strong ties with the newly formed friendship group
with Azerbaijan in the National Assembly and will take appropriate
steps in this direction.
“From the absolutely unacceptable position of the French
government and parliament, it's obvious that France no longer
accepts the universal values shared by the international
community,” the MP said.
“Our country, as the strongest state in the South Caucasus, is
able to counter any threat directed against its national interests.
However, Azerbaijan's policy is based not on violence, but on the
values of peace, stability, security and cooperation. Azerbaijan
has created new realities in the region, and, like all other
countries, France must accept these realities,' Mammadov
concluded.
