BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 31. Relations between
Azerbaijan and France have started to deteriorate following the
strengthening of the Armenian diaspora, director of Conflicts
magazine Gil Mihaely said at an international conference on“France
and the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict” in Baku, Trend reports.
Michaely pointed out that a major ace in the hole for bolstering
Azerbaijan's ties with the West was, without a doubt, energy.
The relations between Azerbaijan and France made an important
breakthrough in 1990 thanks to the participation of Total, which
was one of the founders of the contract. TotalEnergies has been
operating in the country since 1996.
In addition, a French Lyceum was opened in Azerbaijan, and
Azerbaijani culture, particularly opera, has been widely
recognized, especially in recent decades.
He noted that the Armenian diaspora then strengthened its
position, which allowed it to promote its agenda.
“Since the 1990s, the Armenian diaspora began to actively
promote its agenda in the political and social spheres,
strengthening ties with French politicians. Lobbying groups have
strengthened, and the geopolitical situation has deteriorated,” he
said.
