Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev met with French President Francois
Hollande at the Elysee Presidential Palace in Paris yesterday as
rival groups held demonstrations.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the extradition of Azeri officer
Ramil Safarov are expected to be on the agenda at the meeting.
Representatives of Turkish and Azerbaijani organizations in France
rallied outside the Armenian Embassy in Paris. The protest was held
in response to earlier reports of a demonstration in front of the
Azerbaijani Embassy. The Armenian community in France also held a
large-scale protest against Aliyev's visit, accusing him of carrying
out a "genocidal policy" manifested by the latest act of pardoning
and promoting Safarov, who killed his Armenian counterpart at a NATO
conference in 2004.
The pardon has inflamed tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan,
which are locked in an unresolved conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
