Abdullayeva: Baku does not see any role of Paris in the ceasefire in  Karabakh

ArmInfo.Baku does not see any role of Paris in the ceasefire in Karabakh. This is stated in the commentary by head of the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign  Ministry Leyla Abdullayeva in connection with the statement by French  President Emmanuel Macron on June 1 in Paris.

"This process is provided on the basis of a trilateral statement by  the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia. The Russian  peacekeepers temporarily deployed in Azerbaijan are carrying out a  mission to ensure a ceasefire," Abdullayeva said, cynically stating  once again that there are no Armenian prisoners of war in Azerbaijan.  Furthermore, she did not stop there, in the spirit of the traditional  Azerbaijani propaganda, which has nothing to do with reality, she  assured that the Armenian military captured on the sovereign  territory of the Republic of Armenia on May 27 by the Azerbaijani  Armed Forces were saboteurs and accused them of attempting to commit  a terrorist act.  "As for the direct dialogue between the parties, it  is already taking place at the level of the deputy prime ministers of  Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia. At the same time, France does not  play any role in this. It is no secret that France has special  sympathy for Armenia, but as a co-chair country it should remain  neutral to the Minsk Group. We hope that in accordance with the  mandate of the co-chair, France will show a neutral and impartial  position, "Abdullayeva said, Turan reports.  It is also worth noting  that show of a "trial" of two Armenian soldiers - Ludwig Mkrtchyan  and Alyosha Khosrovian - has begun in Baku today. Azerbaijan did not  come up with anything better how to accuse the Armenian military of  committing "torture during the First Karabakh war of the 1990s." And,  of course, Azerbaijan has no real evidence of this.  

To note,  French leader Emmanuel Macron on June 1 at a meeting with  acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said in Paris that  France will contribute to the restoration of peace and the  development of dialogue between Armenia and Azerbaijan. "

As the co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, together with Russia and the  United States, France intends to do everything to achieve  de-escalation and restoration of dialogue, including direct, between  the parties," the French leader said. He stressed that "in connection  with the recent events on the border, its delimitation should be  carried out only through negotiations and without the use of force."  Macron noted that the Azerbaijani troops should leave the territory  of Armenia, and the parties should return to the positions they held  as of May 11.
