France has announced that it has stopped the process of adoption of a Resolution regarding the situation on the Lachin-Khankendi road, which it raised in the UN Security Council, APA reports.

Azerbaijan's diplomacy was able to defeat this step of Paris and Armenia as a result of the trust in it in international circles.

Noted that after the events of September 2022, based on Armenia's request, the item "Letter of the Permanent Representative of Armenia to the UN" was included in the agenda of the UN Security Council. Immediately after the discussions, France, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council and currently the chairman of the Security Council, prepared a pro-Armenian text that presented the situation on the Lachin-Khankendi road as a humanitarian disaster.

For more than 10 days, a "diplomatic war" was going on regarding this document.

It is no coincidence that President Ilham Aliyev announced that provocations were being prepared against Azerbaijan at the UN in his meeting with the West Azerijan community. On December 23, Ilham Aliyev called on Macron to be impartial in relation to regional issues.

The process was conducted directly by the French Presidential Administration and Macron's foreign policy advisers.

France believed that by issuing a pro-Armenian Statement to the UN Security Council, it would later be able to accept it as a Resolution. Yerevan and Paris were eager to change the situation on the road to Lachin through the UN.

However, the action taken without coordination with other international players angered those players. This was the next Armenian betrayal against Russia, as well as respect for the peace agreement negotiations conducted with the support of the United States, and the international community as a whole.

During these 10 days, France, which is the chairman of the UN Security Council, could not make a statement about the situation on the Lachin road. Due to Azerbaijan's serious diplomatic efforts, the word "Nagorno-Karabakh" was first removed from the Declaration. Later, the document stated that humanitarian aid can only be possible on the basis of respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan.

Official Baku, with the help of its partners, managed to soften the text of the Statement so much that after 6-7 editorial changes, the document became a pro-Azerbaijani Statement. After that, official Paris rejected the document altogether.

According to the information provided, France has officially applied in a letter and declared that it has stopped the process.

Great Britain, UAE, Russia and Albania opposed the French initiative.

France is so angry at the failure of this effort that it wants to recall its permanent representative to the UN.

It can be said that Azerbaijan crushed the French-Armenian tandem.
