Baku angered by friendship declaration between French city and
Nagorno-Karabakh capital
BAKU. Nov 21
Azerbaijan has told the French authorities that it is displeased with
the signing of a declaration of friendship between the French city of
Bouc-Bel-Air and Khankendi (Stepanakert), the capital of the
self-proclaimed Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Baku's protest over this move was expressed by an Azeri Embassy
official during a meeting at the French Foreign Ministry in Paris,
Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry acting spokesman Khikmet Gajiyev told
Interfax.
"France, as a co-chair of the OSCE (Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe) Minsk Group, recognizes the territorial
integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan. However, regrettably, certain
circles in this country being influenced by the large Armenian
community are trying to hurt these relations," he said.
