Azerbaijan has high expectation from France to step up efforts to
tackle the severe consequences of the Armenian aggression.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev made the remark in a congratulatory
message to France's President Francois Hollande on the occasion of
the country's national holiday.
He noted that France is interested in establishing peace and stability
in South Caucasus.
"We have great expectations from France as a co-chair of the OSCE
Minsk Group, and personally yours, Mr. President, to step up efforts
to eliminate the severe consequences of Armenian aggression against
Azerbaijan and find a speedy and just solution based on international
law to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which was followed by the
occupation of 20 percent of our territory displacement of our people,"
President Aliyev underscored.
Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus
neighbor that had caused a lengthy war in the early 1990s. The UN
Security Council has adopted four resolutions on Armenia's withdrawal
from the Azerbaijani territory, but they have not been enforced to
this day.
President Aliyev further said Azerbaijani-French relations have
developed in accordance with their rich historical traditions. He said
the high-level political contacts between the two countries, constantly
expanding mutually beneficial cooperation in the economic sphere,
multilateral and sustainable humanitarian and cultural ties are some
of the characteristic features of the Azerbaijani-French relations.
President Aliyev wished President Hollande good health, success in
works, and a permanent welfare and prosperity for France's friendly
people.
Bastille Day is celebrated on 14 July each year. The French National
Day commemorates the beginning of French Revolution with the storming
of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, as well as the Fete de la Federation
which celebrated the unity of French people on 14 July 1790.
Celebrations are held throughout France.
On this day, many large-scale public events are held in France
including a military parade in Paris. Service men and women from
various units, including cadets from military schools, French Navy
and Foreign Legion participate in the parade.
