Azerbaijan demands that France stop provocations

On August 31, France's ambassador to Azerbaijan Anne Bouillon was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), Report informs.

"Sending of vehicles to the Lachin border checkpoint under the name of 'humanitarian cargo' accompanied by leaders of several French cities, including the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo and the making of provocative statements against Azerbaijan by those persons are not only a direct interference in the internal affairs of Azerbaijan but also an attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country protected by international law.

"These provocative actions - a tool of Armenia's campaign of lies and manipulation, are another example of steps aimed at escalating the situation in the region and encouraging Armenia to continue its revanchist position, which has intensified in recent days," MFA said.

France has been insistently requested to put an end to the steps that are directed against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan protected by international law and endanger the fragile normalization process promoted by the active efforts of international actors in the region.
