ANIP calls for an end to all relations with France
Baku 26.11.20 / Turan: The National Independence Party of Azerbaijan (ANİP), condemning the resolution of the French Senate on the recognition of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh, demanded:
- Start a legal procedure on the withdrawal of France from the institution of co-chairmanship and membership in the OSCE Minsk Group on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict;
- To recall the ambassador of Azerbaijan to France, to cancel the credentials of the ambassador of France to Azerbaijan;
- Introduce a lifetime ban on entry to Azerbaijan for 305 members of the French Senate who voted for the well-known resolution;
- Review the activities of 50 French companies in Azerbaijan, as well as French educational institutions;
- To prohibit the import of French-made products into Azerbaijan;
- Sever all political, cultural, economic and humanitarian ties with France.
These demands are reflected in today's ANIP statement, which unambiguously considers the decision of the French Senate as a systematic political act against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan.
“This is a clear proof of separatism and support for terror by the French Senate in the eyes of the whole world.
The National Independence Party of Azerbaijan is adopting this decision as a political act directed against the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, recognized by the UN in 1992,” the statement reads.
“A country that comes out with unfounded accusations against Azerbaijan and Turkey, which committed massacres unprecedented in history, should adopt resolutions to assess the genocide committed by it in Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Chad, Gabon, Cameroon, Rwanda, Djibouti, Cambodia and Vietnam, which is required by the resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the decisions of the Non-Aligned Movement. One of the latest examples of colonialism should be considered the situation with the Isle of Mayotte, turned into a department of France, contrary to the UN resolution and the sovereign rights of the state of the Comoros ", reads the statement of the ANIP. —0—
