On December 28, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of France to the Republic of Azerbaijan Ann Bouillon was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a note of protest addressed to the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs of France was presented to the other party.

According to the information given to APA by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during the meeting, deep concern was expressed about the expansion and continuation of the campaign based on open slander and prejudice against Azerbaijan by various political forces of France against the background of the lack of a necessary response from the French government, and the allegations contained in the letter were firmly rejected.

In this context, a few days ago, in a letter addressed to the French President on behalf of the leaders of the political forces represented in the French Parliament, it was stated that it is unacceptable to make baseless accusations against Azerbaijan, to call for steps to be taken in the nature of an attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country.

It was emphasized that the said letter is a continuation of a series of anti-Azerbaijani measures and statements carried out purposefully and systematically, including the adoption of resolutions full of groundless accusations against Azerbaijan by both chambers of the French Parliament.

The Azerbaijani side pointed out that it is necessary to take appropriate measures in order to immediately stop the campaign conducted by the French government against Azerbaijan.
