Azerbaijan’s Embassy in France has sent a note of protest to the country’s Foreign Ministry, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry’s acting spokeswoman Leyla Abdullayeva told reporters in Baku Nov. 17, Trend reports.
She was commenting on the visit to France by the “head” of the separatist entity created in the occupied Azerbaijani territories.
“In this regard, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry made a specific and categorical statement,” she said.
Abdullayeva noted that Azerbaijan assesses such a step by France, a country that is a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, which created conditions for the visit of the “representative” of the illegal regime and for holding certain meetings there, as encouragement of the occupation regime.
“We believe that this step by France casts doubt on its objectivity and impartiality,” she added. “In this regard, the Azerbaijani Embassy in Paris handed over a note of protest to the French Foreign Ministry.”
