The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan responded to the resolution adopted by the French Senate.

The statement of the Ministry states that "the resolution is completely far from reality, reflects false and slanderous provisions and, having an openly provocative nature, is aimed at disrupting the process of normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia."

 "The resolution adopted by the Senate and without any legal force clearly shows the biased and one-sided political position of France as a country that declares its intention to contribute to the peace process.  In general, all the absurd claims mentioned in the resolution show that its authors are not aware of the historical facts and the situation in the region," the message states.

Referring to the point by which the resolution reaffirms the need to recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and suggests the government to establish a humanitarian office in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan once again noted that "Nagorno-Karabakh is the internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan."

 "The security of the Armenian population living in that region is an internal matter of Azerbaijan, and they will be ensured in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

By encouraging the revanchist forces in Armenia, this resolution of the Senate does not serve peace, stability and progress in the region and is far from the "promotion of lasting peace" mentioned in the resolution. We strongly condemn the next resolution adopted by the French Senate," the statement of the Foreign Ministry reads.

It should be reminded that on November 16, the Senate of the Republic of France adopted a resolution supporting Armenia and proposing sanctions against Azerbaijan.
