Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov met with newly-appointed French Ambassador to Azerbaijan Anne Boyon.

Media reports referring to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs say that at the meeting Jeyhun Bayramov accepted copies of Anne Boyon's credentials and wished her success in her future activities.

"The meeting discussed the current state of Azerbaijani-French relations, the situation in the region, the normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the peace agenda and other issues.

The Minister noted that the biased opinions of the French side, resolutions of the French parliament damage Azerbaijani-French relations and do not contribute to the peace process between Baku and Yerevan.

Speaking about the process of normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Jeyhun Bayramov informed Boyon of the steps and initiatives taken by the Azerbaijani side to promote the aforementioned process," the statement said. The Azerbaijani minister did not miss the opportunity to shift the blame from bad to worse and "brought to attention the provocations and threats of the Armenian side."
