"The situation regarding the arrest and detention of political prisoners in New Caledonia is also observed in other overseas territories. We will continue to support all those fighting for independence. We know that since 1984, France has been trying to establish a dialogue with the Kanaks, but these attempts have not yet led to concrete results. We are also ready to act as a mediator in this process and call on France to put an end to human rights violations in all its overseas territories," Abbasov said.
