The ambassador of Azerbaijan was summoned to the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs on Tuesday, according to a press release of the ministry.

“This summons follows unacceptable remarks made against France and Europeans by the Azerbaijani authorities within the framework of COP29 [climate conference in Azerbaijan] and as a result of which the [French] Minister of Ecological Transition, Energy, Climate and Risk Prevention, Mrs. Agnes Pannier-Runacher, had to cancel her participation in this United Nations conference.

The hostile actions of Azerbaijan must be stopped," reads the press release.
