Azerbaijani envoy: France 24 interview with separatist leader undermines peace efforts

Ambassador to France Leyla Abdullayeva has said that France 24 TV interview with the so-called head of the separatist regime, Araik Harutyunyan, infringes upon Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity and undermines efforts to reach peace with Armenia.

"France 24's broadcasting of the interview of a so-called representative of an illegal and unrecognised entity encourages propaganda of separatism, infringes on Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity, damages peace efforts and fuels tensions," Caliber.Az quotes Abdullayeva as saying on Twitter.

- encourage la promotion du séparatisme
