Azerbaijan slams France after French ambassador recalled

Azerbaijan slams France after French ambassador recalled

RECALLED ambassador Anne Boillon met French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to discuss the issue.

The Foreign Ministry of France accused Azerbaijan of actions that damaged the diplomatic ties between the two countries in recent months.

Meanwhile, the foreign ministry of Azerbaijan accused France of pressuring and threatening the former Soviet Republic after Paris recalled its ambassador.

Azerbaijan has slammed France on multiple occasions over what it sees as the European country’s support for rival Armenia.

France is a traditional ally of Armenia.

Azerbaijan and Armenia have been engaged in decades-old territorial conflict over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but the region is mostly populated by the ethnic Armenians.

After the first war between 1992 to 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia made several attempts at a political solution to end the territorial conflict but failed.

For 26 years, the two former Soviet nations were neither at war nor at peace, and had no diplomatic relations, until the second war erupted in 2020 due to unresolved conflict.
