The spokesperson of Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry, Aykhan
Hajizadeh, has issued a strong response to the recent comments made
by French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barron regarding regional
tensions, accusing Paris of adopting a double standard,
Azernews reports.
According to Azernews, Hajizadeh stated on his official “X”
account that “France’s supply of lethal weapons to Armenia and its
long-term anti-Azerbaijani position, which does not serve peace, do
not correspond to the views expressed by Foreign Minister Jean-Noël
Barron regarding the emergence of tension in the region.”
Calling out the contradiction between France’s words and
actions, the spokesperson said: “This dual approach shows the
hypocrisy of France.”
Hajizadeh further emphasized that “although the completion of
the work on the peace agreement is an important event, its signing
and the achievement of long-term peace in the region require the
elimination of territorial claims to Azerbaijan in the Constitution
of Armenia and, above all, the elimination of foreign interference
by France, which serves to destabilize the situation in the
region.”
He also noted that “creating obstacles to the trial of persons
accused of crimes against humanity not only prevents these cases
from being conducted, but also undermines the issue of
accountability for the crimes committed.”
