The Western Azerbaijan Community issued a statement, Azernews reports.

"During a press conference held at the summit of the European Political Community in Woodstock, United Kingdom, French President Emmanuel macron attempted to justify his country's arming of Armenia and to slander Azerbaijan," the statement reads.

"We remind the French president, who tried to present Azerbaijan's liberation of its territories from a 30-year occupation in a negative light in 2020, that the 44-day Patriotic War was a triumph of international law and justice, fulfilling the provisions of the UN Charter and specific resolutions of the Security Council. Instead of trying to tarnish this glorious history, President Macron should acknowledge his country's responsibility for encouraging Armenia to continue its occupation of Azerbaijani territories for many years by supporting it.

It must be emphasised that France's sale of arms to Armenia, a country that occupied 20% of Azerbaijani territories and held them under occupation for 30 years, serves to provoke this country, where revanchist sentiments dominate both in the army and many political circles, to wage another war against Azerbaijan and plunge the region into bloodshed.

The Western Azerbaijan Community demands that France immediately cease arming Armenia and other destructive actions."
