They were so offended that it was even funny. What does the French Foreign Ministry expect from Azerbaijan?

Azerbaijani Ambassador to Paris, Leyla Abdullayeva, was summoned to the French Foreign Ministry. According to official sources in Paris, Abdullayeva was protested "in connection with the 'unacceptable statements' made by the Azerbaijani authorities regarding France and Europe within the framework of COP29."

That’s quite a statement, of course. But what exactly did the French consider unacceptable, I wonder? The truth about how Paris oppresses the population of its overseas territories? Or maybe the truth about how France actually encouraged Armenia's aggression against Azerbaijan? And did these words hurt Emmanuel Macron so much that the entire French government, in a unified response, canceled its trip to Baku for COP29? Well, okay. You're offended, sometimes. We didn’t attend the biggest climate event of the year. AND NOTHING TERRIBLE HAPPENED.

The conference is ongoing, negotiations continue, and the halls are far from empty. French delegates could have filled those seats if they found the courage to come to Baku. The team didn’t even notice the loss of one member, as they say.

But the most amusing part of the French Foreign Ministry’s statement regarding the summoning of the Azerbaijani ambassador is the ending. France, Paris claims, demands that Azerbaijan "cease hostile actions." Wow! What an interesting classification of actions the French have. The statements made in Baku are considered "hostile actions." And what about the trips of French deputies to the still-occupied Karabakh? Or Macron’s scandalous interviews? Or the vandalism of the Natavan monument in France? How do these incidents rank according to the French Foreign Ministry's scale? Are they considered a declaration of war? Well, if that's the case, then Azerbaijan’s "hostile actions," in the form of voicing the truth about the policy and approach of the Macron administration, are all Paris can count on.
