Read moreAzerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov stated at a press conference on the results of the year that France refused to investigate facts related to the activities of the embassy staff in Azerbaijan, Azernews reports.
"Two employees of the French Embassy in Azerbaijan are recognised as undesirable persons. However, two days before that, we sent a note to the French Embassy. The existence of serious facts related to these persons and the importance and necessity of their investigation were stated by the state bodies of Azerbaijan. But they refused to investigate the case."
"If the French state was sure of the innocence of its employees, it could have gone for it. There was no response from them. Yesterday, France declared two members of our ambassador's staff persona non grata. There is a difference between the steps taken by us and by France. We speak with evidence and facts. This unjustified step of the French side was another wrong step for this country," the minister emphasised.
