He indicated that Azerbaijan had regained its occupied lands for almost 30 years and that its operations were responding to Armenian aggression and provocations.
He stated that the result achieved by Azerbaijan on the ground was reflected in United Nations resolutions and gave concrete character to its rights, and that the Minsk Group, of which France was co-chair, had not achieved this.
