(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 23. The situation
around the Park of Azerbaijan in French Evian (Évian-les-Bains),
where the monument to Khurshidbanu Natavan (XIX century Azerbaijani
poetess) is located, shows that Azerbaijanophobia enveloping the
French society has already reached an absurd level, Western
Azerbaijan Community said in a statement, Trend reports.
The statement comes several days after demands were made to the
municipal council in Evian, to officially remove all inscriptions
mentioning "Park of Azerbaijan" in the city. According to French
'Le Messager', the demand is related to France's support for
Armenia. Moreover, there is a risk of the monument to Natavan being
demolished.
The Western Azerbaijan Community has called on UNESCO to
immediately respond.
"During the occupation (Armenian occupation of Karabakh), the
tomb of Natavan was destroyed. Today, the threat to demolish the
Natavan monument in France demonstrates what 'common values'
Armenian and French societies have. Racist French politicians,
deputies, mayors, and journalists who accuse Azerbaijan of
allegedly "destroying Armenian heritage" in Karabakh should be
ashamed," said the statement.
The Community pointed out that while France itself cannot get
rid of racism, today, Shusha, Khankendi and Aghdam (where Natavan
is buried) and the entire Karabakh are free from occupation.
