Azerbaijan has gained what belonged to it by the international law, Leyla Abdullayeva, Ambassador of Azerbaijan to France, said at the 6th Paris Peace Forum, Azernews reports.

She has made the remark in response to the unfounded allegations once again voiced by Nikol Pashinyan, Prime Minister of Armenia, at the panel discussions within the forum in Paris.

"The fears in France on the so-called threat by Azerbaijan against Armenia is absolutely baseless. We have gained what belonged to Azerbaijan. Moreover, it was Azerbaijan that initiated the peace proces with Armenia in the first place," she said.

Regarding the meeting in Granada which took place recetly without Azerbaijan's participation, Abdullayeva pointed out that it was France that hindered the negotiations process just the day before the meeting by declaring its readiness to provide military equipment to Armenia.

She noted that, for a country that positions it self as a mediator in Azerbaijan-Armenia peace process, openly taking one side is unacceptable.

Meanwhile, in its response to Pashinyan's speech at the Paris Forum, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan stated that Armenia continues its aggressive and slanderous rhetoric against Azerbaijan using various international platforms.

"We call on Armenia to abandon statements that undermine peace prospects and use the historical opportunities that have arisen for the transformation of the South Caucasus region into a space of peace and cooperation," the ministry said.
