As we reported yesterday mayor of paris made absolutely Anna Hidalgo, made a baseless and provocative post against Azerbaijan. Regarding the event, "COP29", that will take place in Baku next year November.
"In a country where 90% of its income comes from oil and gas, it is a fiasco to hold an event to combat the climate. Apart from that, the only reason for the "ethnic cleansing" in Karabakh and the blockade of the people of the region for almost 1 year is Azerbaijan". We call the French government and the European Union " We call for the "COP29" event to be held in another country."
Emmanuel Dupuy, president of the Institute for Perspectives and Security in Europe (IPSE), speaking to Ednews, stated that this occured in a very akward moment, considering the normalization process between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
"The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, was not the only one to respond to the confirmation of the fact that Baku will host the next Cop, 29, in November 2024. As we remember, a certain number of local elected bodies, namely President of Regions and for an and other mayors such as the Mayor of Paris, have been advocating for a strong sustain to Armenian position and to the so-called "Republic of Artsakh". They've managed to make votes to obtain votes in that favor, and therefore it's not very awkward that these elected bodies, MPs have been advocating against the candidature of Baku to host the Cop 29. This occurs in a very awkward moment, since this decision has been made possible precisely by the fact that Erivan took away its candidacy, and therefore abiding by the fact that the two countries, Armenia and Azerbaijan, are discussing more than they used to be doing. In the last weeks, this position of the French elected bodies, both on the local dimension or national dimension, does not position the position of France. The Mayor of Paris is not the president of the Republic, and there is a strict gap between the executive power and the legislative power, not to speak about the gap between inside the legislative power between the elected MPs and the elected local authorities, such as the mayors or the president of region or president of the parliament. There is just one foreign policy. And this is why I would confirm the fact that this appeal, which was published in La Tribune and the the tweets that followed by Anne Hidalgo are nothing or do not differ from the position that these members of Parliament have already made in the past in favor of Armenia and in the country in this favor of Azerbaijan."
