BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 4. The
French Foreign Minister used an image of Türkiye’s Mount Agridag in
her social network post, telling about her visit to Armenia, the
official representative of the ruling Justice and Development Party
of Turkey, Omer Celik said, Trend reports.
“If it’s not because of illiteracy, then it’s a very
big mistake. This indicates ignorance about politics and diplomacy,
concern about the return of Karabakh to its owners, and actions as
a representative of the Armenian Diaspora. This post should be
deleted,” Celik said.
Speaking about the meeting to be held in Granada, he
touched upon the issue of Türkiye’s non-participation, noting that
the objection regarding Türkiye’s presence at the meeting in
Granada means that the European Union is concerned about the return
of Karabakh to its owners and is trying to create a political
profile taking into account the demands of the Armenian diaspora.
The goal is to continue a unilateral, unfair policy.
President Ilham Aliyev refused to visit Granada
(Spain), where a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol
Pashinyan was to be held with the participation of the leaders of
the European Union, France, and Germany. The reasons for this are
the destructive position of France as well as the differences
between Paris and Berlin over Türkiye’s participation in the
meeting. In such circumstances, the Azerbaijani side refused to
negotiate.
In addition, French Foreign Minister Catherine
Colonna, who visited Yerevan the previous day, was again in the
spotlight with her anti-Azerbaijani statements. “Any action that
threatens the territorial integrity of Armenia will be met with a
very tough response,” she said ahead of the Granada meeting. These
statements, calculated to aggravate the situation between Baku and
Yerevan, serve only to accelerate the process of Armenia’s
militarization.
Moreover, the French Foreign Minister’s repetition of
tales of so-called “blockades” and “forced resettlement” at her
meetings in Armenia does not serve peace in the region either.
Colonna’s words that “France is always on Armenia’s
side” finally demonstrated that France’s statements that it is a
“neutral and independent mediator” do not reflect reality. And the
statements of the French Foreign Minister regarding the arming of
Armenia once again reveal the true intentions and goals of
Paris.
