"The brutality, mass atrocities committed by France against the people of Algeria, something the world should never forget. France conducted a terrible war against the Algerian people for more than 130 years, which resulted in the deaths of more than one and a half million Algerians," President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at the 31st Arab League Summit in Algeria.
"I visited the Memorial of Martyrs. I visited the Museum of Moudjahid and was deeply impressed and shocked by what I saw. Today, commemorating this tragedy, we need to do everything in order to avoid these tragedies in the future," Ilham Aliyev noted.
