So-called France-Karabakh friendship circle is an unrecognized organization
The so-called France-Karabakh friendship circle is an unrecognized organization with no official status, Hikmat Hajiyev, spokesperson for Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry, told AzVision.az on Nov. 29.

He was commenting on the visit of a group of members of the so-called France-Karabakh friendship circle to the occupied Azerbaijani territories.

According to Hajiyev, the circle is comprised of Armenian lobby members and others who are completely subjected to the Armenian lobby.

The spokesperson noted that Jacques Remiller, who organized the trip, now has his name in the list of ‘undesirable people’ of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.

“Since France is to hold parliamentary and presidential elections next year, some parliamentarians resort to every provocative act, hoping to get financial and political support from the Armenian lobby,” Hajiyev said, adding. “They even dare to promote the criminal regime created in Azerbaijan’s occupied lands as a result of military aggression and a bloody act of ethnic cleansing. The Armenian lobby is making a marionette out of such persons by way of blackmailing and threatening.”

He said the stance of the French government in regard to the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is clear cut.

“Being an OSCE Minsk Group co-chair, France supports Azerbaijan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, and is working to find a solution to the conflict. The cooperation and friendship between Azerbaijan and France is developing in all areas, including at the level of legislative bodies,” added Hajiyev.
