The current geopolitical climate, marked by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and other regional tensions, has a significant impact on global order and presents operational challenges, said Ali Nagiyev, Head of the State Security Service (SSS) of Azerbaijan, in an article published in the "Respublika" newspaper.

Nagiyev acknowledges the potential threats to regional stability and security that persist despite Azerbaijan's recent successes in the political, economic, and military spheres. He highlights the positive progress made towards a potential peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan. However, he expresses concern about the involvement of certain Western countries, particularly France.

While some actors claim to champion peace and stability, Nagiyev argues that France's actions contradict this stated goal. He points to France's establishment of a military mission in Armenia, a country accused of occupying Azerbaijani territory and committing past atrocities. He further criticizes France's alleged support for Armenian rearmament and its perceived encouragement of renewed conflict.

The article suggests that France's true aim is to destabilize the Caucasus region. Nagiyev expresses suspicion regarding covert French activities, including the potential formation of a spy network targeting Azerbaijan. He assures readers that the State Security Service has neutralized such threats and will continue to safeguard national security.

The article concludes with a call for vigilance and preparedness in light of ongoing regional challenges. Nagiyev emphasizes the importance of maintaining robust security measures to address potential negative developments.
