Azerbaijani ambassador: We all share the sorrow of the French people

"Notre Dame de Paris cathedral, is the heart of Paris, France. However, in fact, it belongs to humanity and those who love beauty and geniality," Azerbaijani Ambassador to France Rahman Mustafayev said.

"Therefore, whether religious or not, we all share the sorrow of the French people."

The fire erupted in the Notre Dame de Paris cathedral yesterday. The top part of the spire and the clock of the cathedral collapsed. The French Interior Ministry announced that it will be difficult to restore the church after the fire. Meanwhile, President Emmanuel Macron vowed to restore the cathedral to its previous condition.

The fire that lasted for more than 10 hours was only extinguished after midnight. By preliminary data, the ignition was caused by the renovation works at the upper levels of the cathedral.
