On August 29, the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, made a phone call to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev.
During the telephone conversation, the situation in the region and the issue of the opening of the Aghdam-Khankendi and Lachin-Khankendi roads were discussed.
The head of state said that Armenia and the puppet regime, which it has created and continues to support in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, are deliberately creating artificial obstacles for the use of the Aghdam-Khankendi road and are exploiting this for political manipulation.
The President of Azerbaijan noted that Armenia and the puppet regime refused the initial agreement reached on the transportation of goods via the Aghdam-Khankendi road through the mediation of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The Armenian leadership also brought goods, which it claimed were for humanitarian purposes, in the direction of the state border without the Azerbaijani side’s consent, and the purpose here is political speculation.
The head of state underlined that Azerbaijan invited representatives of the Armenian population of Karabakh to the capital Baku, and other cities of Azerbaijan to discuss reintegration issues, but they refused and deliberately made allegations about the tense humanitarian situation. President Ilham Aliyev noted that following the opening of the Aghdam-Khankendi road, the Lachin-Khankendi road can be used by observing Azerbaijan's customs and border regime rules.
President Ilham Aliyev also pointed out that a truck convoy loaded with food had left for that area via the Azerbaijan Red Crescent Society.
President Emmanuel Macron said that France is ready to contribute to stabilizing the situation and eliminating the current tension and proposed to continue the contacts between the relevant authorities of France and Azerbaijan.
