Azerbaijan's MFA Responds To French FM's Claims Of Legal Violations

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 18. Allegations made by Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, during an interview with the France Inter, stating that “Azerbaijan violates international law in relation to Armenia” are yet another indication of this country's baseless and biased attitude towards Azerbaijan, as well as its shallow and superficial approach to international law.

Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Aykhan Hajizada said in an address to the anti-Azerbaijani views expressed by Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, Trend reports.

Hajizada asserted that international law and justice serve as the foundation for all actions taken by Azerbaijan.

"It is absurd to claim that our country is acting against international law, and France has no evidence to support her claim. It is interesting that France, which presents itself as a promoter of international law and a guarantee of justice, has never criticized the gross violation of all norms and principles of international law in relation to Azerbaijan.

It is an indication of an erroneous policy to present Armenia as a victim, which displaced nearly a million Azerbaijanis from their homeland, committed massacres and crimes against humanity, and disregarded the right of return of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis who were deported en masse from the territory of Armenia.

We once again demand that France, whose foreign policy has failed in many parts of the world, cease its destructive activities in our region," he said.
