The President correctly explained the situation with the co-chairs of the Minsk Group”.

According to Eurasia Diary, this statement came from Asim Mollazade, a member of Azerbaijan parliament while commenting on the statement of Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan in an interview with local television on the position of the United States and France on Armenia.

President openly stated that the French government stood by Armenia during both war and after war, and added that the current US administration also stood by Armenia.  

During the conversation, Asim Mollazade initially talked about  the strong and constant Armenian Diaspora in the United States and France and their impacts on the political affairs and interests of both countries.

"Unfortunately, the well-organized Armenian Diaspora in both France and the United States has strong impacts on the politics of these countries.  In California and other US states, the Armenian lobby has managed to take many politicians in their hands. Despite the fact that the United States and France are co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, the politicians of these countries support a biased position on the Karabakh issue, which is contrary to their national interests. After the war, the House of Representatives and the Senate of the French Parliament have adopted a document against Azerbaijan, which contradicts the norms of international law. Such a step has inflicted serious damage on French-Azerbaijani relations. "

The MP also praised President Ilham Aliyev's sharp statements on the policy pursued by the United States and France.

"The President has explained these issues very accurately and precisely. If these two countries change their policies towards Azerbaijan on the basis of their national interests and understand the reality, I think that everything can return to its normal level within the framework of international law. Otherwise, they will be the losers. "

In the end, Asim Mollazade said that no one could put pressure on Azerbaijan.

"No one will be able to achieve anything from Azerbaijan by contravening international law. Azerbaijan pursues its foreign policy on the basis of the norms of international law. Everyone must come to terms with this reality. "
