MFA: It is outrageous that France accuses Azerbaijan of using force without any apparent cause

It is outrageous that France, which did not object to Armenia's almost 30-year aggression and occupation of Azerbaijani territories, as well as the fact that Armenia still continues to keep 8 Azerbaijani villages under occupation, accuses Azerbaijan of using force without any apparent cause, Aykhan Hajizada, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in a commentary regarding the remarks of Gabriel Attal, Prime Minister of France, during the meeting with the Armenian community, Report informs.

“We remind the Prime Minister of France, who condemns the counter-terrorism measures taken against the remnants of the armed forces of Armenia stationed in the sovereign territories of Azerbaijan and accuses Azerbaijan of allegedly occupying territories of Armenia, that the measures taken by Azerbaijan are fully consistent with the norms and principles of international law, as well as the resolutions concerning the former Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict of the UN Security Council, of which France is a permanent member,” the MFA official said.
