BAKU. Sept 26 (Interfax) - Azerbaijan has demanded that France stop its destructive policy in the South Caucasus and adjust the biased pro-Armenian attitude, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Aykhan Hajizada said.
"French President Emmanuel Macron's statement at the UN General Assembly on September 25 [...] is another example of France's biased pro-Armenian approach to both our country and the peace process in general," Hajizada said.
"It is unacceptable that France, which is preparing Armenia for revanchism while extensively arming it, accuses Azerbaijan of coercion," he said.
The presentation of Armenia as a peace-loving victim that has kept Azerbaijani territories under occupation for almost 30 years, ignoring the right of return of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis who were massively deported from the Armenian territory, "clearly demonstrates how unjust French policy is," Hajizada said.
"We urge an immediate halt to damaging actions of France in our region, considering that its foreign policy has failed in many regions of the world," he said.
"France stands shoulder to shoulder with Armenia in the conditions of Azerbaijan's pressures on Armenia and territorial claims," Macron said at the UN General Assembly session.
