French Embassy: "Paris recognizes the sovereignty and territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan within the internationally-recognized borders"
Baku. Zumrud Pashayeva, Rufat Ahmadzada - APA. The Embassy of
Azerbaijan in France has made an official protest to the French
government, Spokesman for Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry Hikmet Hajiyev
told APA.
He said that the protest was made because of signing a Friendship
Declaration between Major of France's Bouc Bel-Air city Richard
Mallie and representative of Nagorno-Karabakh separatist regime
Narine Aghabalian.
Hajiyev recalled that France, as a co-chair country of the OSCE Minsk
Group, supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
"Azerbaijan and France have friendly relations and cooperation. France
is one of our key partners in Europe. But unfortunately, the Armenian
Diaspora and their supporters try to cast a shadow on the friendly
relations between the two countries. And this Friendship Declaration
is an example for such steps. By signing such a document, the city's
authorities have violated the state laws", Hajiyev said.
Hajiyev also added that documents signed between the separatist regime,
established in Azerbaijan's occupied territories, and other states,
cities, or any organizations have no legal force.
"France's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development
systematically reminds French political figures of France's position
on Nagorno-Karabakh", the French Embassy in Azerbaijan told APA.
The embassy assured that the French government has built no relations
with the de facto authority in Nagorno-Karabakh and the self-declared
regime doesn't have any office which has undergone accreditation at
the French government.
"France recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan within the internationally-recognized borders," the
embassy noted.
Note that, as part of her visit to France, Narine Aghabalian, a
representative of the separatist regime of Nagorno-Karabakh, signed
a Friendship Declaration between the French city of Bouc Bel-Air and
the Asgaran city of occupied Nagorno-Karabakh.
