French ambassador in Azerbaijan mocks Aliyev

In an interview with Russian news agency RIA Novosti the day before, Azerbaijani Leader Ilham Aliyev criticized the French government, led by President Macron, claiming that he has turned the country into a “failed state.”

“Now, Macron’s regime is essentially transforming France into a failed state,” Aliyev stated.

Today, French Ambassador to Azerbaijan Anne Bouillon mocked Aliyev’s remarks, hinting that Azerbaijani citizens think differently. “This year, the number of visa applications at the French embassy has increased again. What is so appealing about the attraction of a failed state?” Bouillon wrote on X.
