According to him, the French government denies Corsicans the right to be Corsicans.

"This decision looks like revenge on the great Corsican Napoleon Bonaparte," he added.

Mollazada recalled that some French politicians said Azerbaijan violates the rights of the Karabakh Armenians: "Why don't they recognize the rights of the Corsicans? It's very sad that this is happening in the center of Europe."
