Deputy Elnur Allahverdiev called on government of Azerbaijan to recognize independence of New Caledonia and Mayotta

“The Senate of France adopted a resolution prejudent against Azerbaijan, which discloses and contradicts international law, contradicts the international obligations of France itself. Paris actually questioned the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,” said the Milli Majlis, Elnur Allahverdiev, deputy of the Haqqin.az.az. .

The deputy expressed the conviction that Azerbaijan should take a number of response measures. It recalls that France once annexed the territories in different parts of the world at the cost of oppression and bloodshed. Although these colonies strive for independence, liberation movements in them are forcibly suppressed by the French state.

Elnur Allahverdiev urged to pay attention to two precedents:

“The first is the new Caledonia. It is considered a special administrative -territorial education of France. The population consists of local residents, Kanakov, and immigrants from France. Local residents are supporters of independence. The National Union for Independence” participates in the movement of non -compliance as an observer as an observer . The local population did not participate in a staging referendum held in 2021 under the control of France, and as a result, 94% of 44% of voters who took vote voted to remain in France. In other words, the will of local residents was rejected . I believe that we can use our chairmanship in the movement of non-alignment in order to actualize the desire of New Caledonia to independence and call on the member states to recognize its independence.

The second is Mayotta. The desire of Mayott to join the Comor Islands, to which it belongs, is suppressed by French colonial policy. Mayott is included in the Comor islands. Despite the fact that the Comoric Islands are an independent state, France holds Mautta under control. Comor islands – a Muslim state. I believe that organizations in which Islamic countries are represented and in which we also actively participate are a convenient platform for joining Mayutta to the Comor Islands. At the level of both the government and the legislative body. “
