France should not create conditions for attempts to obstruct the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Ayhan Hajizadeh said, commenting on the unfounded statement by spokesperson for the French Foreign Ministry Anne-Claire Legendre, in connection with the creation of a border checkpoint by Azerbaijan.
He stressed that the statement is completely unfounded.
Ayhan Hajizadeh noted that it is the sovereign and legitimate right of Azerbaijan to establish a border checkpoint on its sovereign territory.
"There is no basis for the claim that this step is contrary to the Trilateral statement, any other international document or court decision. As always, Azerbaijan guarantees the safety of citizens, vehicles and cargo moving on the Lachin-Khankendi road within the framework of its obligations and will continue to take appropriate measures in this direction," the spokesperson said.
