As we have recently debunked all the false narratives stated by
the Armenian lobby's lovely French politician Anne Petel, she has
responded to our article with an interesting reply. In her post on
X, she stated, "I'm invested in the defence of Armenia's
sovereignty, threatened by Azerbaijan."
Her uncompromising devotion to Armenia's“sovereignty” is more
than just misguided-it's a calculated distraction. The real
question is: why does she ignore Armenia's decades-long record of
occupation, aggression, and environmental recklessness while using
Azerbaijan as a convenient scapegoat? Garabagh is not up for
debate-it is internationally recognised as Azerbaijan's sovereign
territory, and no fabricated notion of“Artsakh” will change
that.
The Armenian lobby's propagandists, including Petel, seem
unwilling to acknowledge that Azerbaijan's military operations in
2023 were swift, targeted, and carried out with precision to avoid
civilian harm. There are no documented civilian deaths, no verified
use of phosphorus bombs-only the smuggling of weapons disguised as
“humanitarian aid.” If Petel believes otherwise, let her provide
concrete evidence. Or is she just fishing in troubled waters?
Ms. Patel, Azerbaijan, while rich in oil, is investing heavily
in green energy projects, pushing the nation towards
sustainability. Unlike Armenia, which stubbornly clings to the
dangerous Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant-one of Europe's most
hazardous reactors-Azerbaijan is not endangering the region with
outdated nuclear infrastructure. Metsamor is a ticking time bomb,
yet Petel chooses to remain silent about this looming environmental
catastrophe. Perhaps it is easier to attack Azerbaijan's oil than
confront Armenia's nuclear negligence?
How does Petel distort realities with her preCOP29 smear
campaign?
Let's talk about who truly threatens peace. Armenia, under the
guise of humanitarian corridors and with Russian peacekeepers
looking the other way, transported weapons into Garabagh, planning
for renewed war. Azerbaijan, however, acted swiftly to neutralise
this threat, following principles of international law. It has no
territorial ambitions beyond its borders, but it won't tolerate
further manipulation and militarisation under the pretence of
aid.
Petel's fixation on Azerbaijan raises serious questions. Is this
really about peace and sovereignty, or is it about advancing the
interests of the Armenian lobby? When someone resorts to incendiary
rhetoric without evidence, the answer becomes clear. Her attempts
to smear COP29, a globally significant event hosted with the
participation of many nations-including Armenia-are not just
anti-Azerbaijan; they are anti-diplomacy. She undermines not only
Azerbaijan but also every country attending this summit.
If Petel were serious about defending sovereignty, she'd start
by questioning Armenia's militaristic provocations and
environmental negligence. But instead, she continues her black PR
campaign, hoping the world won't notice the contradictions.
It's time to stop hiding behind rhetoric and deal with facts:
Azerbaijan is building green energy infrastructure, respecting
international law, and striving for peace-while Armenia clings to
dangerous nuclear facilities, perpetuates conflict, and conceals
the truth under the guise of sovereignty.
So, Ms. Petel, if you're truly invested in peace, it's time to
stop fuelling division. Let's talk facts, not fantasies!
