This was reported in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France.
"Since the issue of the adoption of the law criminalizing the Armenian Genocide was the subject of discussion in France, in Azerbaijan it gave the false impression of the role of France in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. On the contrary, our economic relations with Azerbaijan are much stronger than with Armenia. President Ilham Aliyev's visit to Paris and his meeting with President Francois Hollande is further evidence for our good relations.
France as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group will continue to make every effort to resolve the conflict, which has become a major problem not only for Azerbaijan and Armenia, but also for the whole region," said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In addition, the source from the French Foreign Ministry expressed its gratitude to Azerbaijan for a balanced reaction to the adoption by the French Senate of the law criminalizing denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide".
"Azerbaijan then expressed its clear position, and we took it into account. We hope that the Azerbaijani-French relations will continue to develop in a spirit of friendship and partnership. France and the European Union are interested in stable and democratic Azerbaijan, and for that France will do everything possible," said the source.
