"French officials are making one-sided, biased and biased statements contrary to France's mandate as co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group. While France must act as a neutral party in accordance with its mandate, it pursues an openly pro-Armenian policy and makes baseless accusations against Azerbaijan. The statement came from Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President, Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration. "France did not play any role in the adoption of the joint statement of the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Russia and the Prime Minister of Armenia. Probably, France is jealous of Russia's role in this issue.
The signing of this document by the Prime Minister of Armenia says it all. Now France is trying to be more Armenian than Armenian. "France has no authority to speak on behalf of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs," he said. Hajiyev stressed that as the co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, France is now showing unilateral zeal, although it has not taken any steps to end the ongoing Armenian occupation of Azerbaijan and implement UN Security Council resolutions: "I wonder when France has been worried about the return of Azerbaijani IDPs to their lands for 30 years?" But on the contrary, the liberation of Azerbaijani territories and the rule of law continue to worry France. In conclusion, I would like to remind the French authorities that the name of the liberated city of Shusha, which is a historical city of Azerbaijan and has a special place in the hearts of the Azerbaijani people, is "Shusha", not Shusha.
