Baku/01.12.22/Turan: On November 30, the Lower House of the French Parliament passed another anti-Azerbaijani resolution.
It condemns "Azerbaijan's military aggression of September 13 and 14" against Armenia and "violation of its sovereignty".
The resolution calls for an end to "Azerbaijan's military occupation of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia and for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Azerbaijani forces".
The Lower House calls for strict compliance with the terms of the tripartite declarations of 9 November 2020 and 11 January 2021 and invites the French government to work with the UN to dispatch an international force "capable of ensuring an end to hostilities in the South Caucasus and the security of civilians".
The resolution criticises Russia for failing to ensure Armenia's security and for ignoring Yerevan's calls for military assistance within the CSTO framework.
The preamble to the resolution contains strong accusations against Azerbaijan of violating international law and committing war crimes.
However, the document does not call for sanctions against Azerbaijan, as reported by Armenian media.
In turn, a statement by an official representative of the French Foreign Ministry said that the two resolutions of the French parliament (Senate and Lower House) "do not reflect the position of the government".
"The government's position is known and has been repeatedly expressed by the Minister and specifically on 29 November - France calls on the parties to continue negotiations to achieve peace.
It was for this purpose that the President organised a meeting of the two leaders in Prague and this meeting ensured the deployment of an EU observation mission to Armenia," says a statement from the French Foreign Ministry published on the website of the French Embassy in Azerbaijan. -02B-
