Azerbaijan openly and transparently took steps on its territory in accordance with its Constitution and rights. The country explained the essence of the problem two and a half years before this step. During these two and a half years, we did not see a call from France to Armenia even once, said Azerbaijan`s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov at a joint press conference with the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of the French Republic Catherine Colonna.
Jeyhun Bayramov emphasized that financing of 10,000 illegal militants in the sovereign territories of Azerbaijan is the number one cause of tension in the region.
