By Seba Aghayeva - Trend:
Azerbaijani Embassy in France expressed discontent to this country's government.
The reason for the embassy's discontent was the signing of a friendship
agreement between the French city of Bouc-Bel-Air and the Azerbaijani
city of Khankendi occupied by Armenia, the acting head of the press
service of Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry, Hikmet Hajiyev told Trend
Nov. 21.
He said France is a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group and recognizes the
territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan, but unfortunately,
some circles of this country, under the influence of the large Armenian
diaspora, are trying to harm these relations.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
