Spokesperson for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Aykhan Hajizada commented on the arrest by France of Telegram founder Pavel Durov and activist Kemi Seba.
According to him, the detention of Durov and Seba was a fundamental violation of human rights, and the persecution of individuals for their political beliefs and opinions is intolerable.
He stressed that Paris should conduct an appropriate investigation in an absolutely transparent and fair manner, and the international community should be duly informed.
“We believe that such politically motivated arrests in France should be investigated by the relevant bodies of the EU, the Council of Europe, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and an appropriate assessment should be made,” Hajizada said.
