Elman Abdullayev: "The adoption of this unfair bill will lay the
ground for a negative assessment of France's co-chairing role by the
Azerbaijani people"
Baku. Etibar Mammadov - APA. "The adoption of the bill criminalizing
denial of so-called "Armenian genocide" in France will have negative
impact on the regional cooperation policy and regional relations
of this country," spokesman for Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign
Affairs Elman Abdullayev told journalists, APA reports. Commenting on
resubmission of the bill criminalizing denial of so-called "Armenian
genocide" to the French Parliament, Abdullayev said that the position
of Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry on this issue is always clear and
concrete.
The spokesman said that the resubmission of this bill for discussion
and its adoption in France will reduce confidence in this country
as a co-chairing country of OSCE Minsk Group: "France is one of the
co-chairing countries. France is a country, which is cooperating with
whole region and separately with regional countries. I hope that such
a step will be prevented in France. The adoption of such an unfair bill
or its discussion will have negative impact on the regional cooperation
of France. Today, Azerbaijan suffers from Armenia's aggressive policy
and our lands are under occupation. In this case, the adoption of any
unfair decision or bill, of course, will lay the ground for a negative
assessment of France's co-chairing role by the Azerbaijani people.
