Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 25 /Trend, M. Aliyev/
It would be better if people on the 'black list' of the Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry came to Azerbaijan, saw the people, realized the
realities of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and understood that this
is a very significant and sensitive issue for the population, French
Ambassador to Azerbaijan Pascal Monnier told journalists on Wednesday.
In this case, those persons will have not a one-sided, but a balanced
opinion, the Ambassador added.
"I know that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a very sensitive issue
for Azerbaijan," Monnier said commenting on the presence of names of
French citizens on the list which was released by Baku in connection
with illegal visits to Nagorno-Karabakh.
He noted that France supports Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial
integrity.
"Some politicians are invited to this country (Armenia) and then that
country takes them to Nagorno-Karabakh. I personally believe that
the 'black list' has always been a signal of displeasure. Because,
these persons have unintentionally violated Azerbaijan's territorial
integrity. But I think that exchanges have always been the best way
of solving problems.
It should be noted that the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's unwelcome
persons list includes the names of 331 persons.
