Prezident İlham Əliyev.
Baku/25.11.22/Turan: At the last meeting the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and the European Union agreed that the next meeting will be held on December 7 in Brussels, but it will not take place. Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev said this on November 25 answering the questions of participants of the international forum on regional communications.
"Yesterday we received a phone call from Charles Michel's office saying that Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan would agree to such a meeting if French President Macron is also present there. This means there will be no such meeting. Why? Because just one week after our meeting in Prague Macron attacked us in his interview, accusing us of things we did not do. Then they passed this resolution of the French Senate, which is absolutely unacceptable, and now they passed a resolution of the French National Assembly with the same anti-Azerbaijani content, and finally there was an attempt to attack us at the Francophone summit.
We saw the initial resolution drafted by the France-Armenia tandem full of insinuations and accusations, but we have friends not only in the Non-Aligned Movement, but among the Francophone members as well. Therefore, this version of the resolution was rejected.
Given all these circumstances, it is clear that France cannot be a party to the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We did not exclude them, but France itself cut itself off from the process. The other members of the Minsk Group, the US and Russia, did not make such unilateral steps.
Given that there will be no meeting in Brussels on December 7, we will look at who may be a mediator for further negotiations, and on what platform.
I regard this decision by the Armenian Prime Minister as an attempt to undermine the peace process, because he knew that we would not accept his proposal. With these actions Armenia is trying to make the negotiation process indefinite. It means that the peace agreement will not be signed, it means that there will be no peace, but this is Armenia's choice," Aliyev concluded. -02B-
