Almost immediately after French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot’s statement about the increase in tension on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has issued an absurd statement, calling Paris “hypocritical.”

Azerbaijan, which constantly receives weapons from various countries and carries out military aggression against Armenia, has accused France of supplying Armenia with “lethal” weapons—but without providing any evidence.

Baku, among other things, has posited another incomprehensible demand: “to put an end to destabilizing external interventions, including from France.”

Usually, such statements by the Azerbaijan MFA include as well a demand to amend the constitution of Armenia.
