Baku. Hafiz Heydarov â€“ APA. Azerbaijanâ€™s International Diaspora Centre and Garabagh Freedom Organization held protest action outside the French Embassy in Azerbaijan. APA reports that the police didnâ€™t allow people to gather outside the French Embassy. The protest action was continued in the former â€œMolocane Gardenâ€ park.

Participants of the action protested against the French Senateâ€™s adoption of a draft law criminalizing the denial of made-up â€œArmenian genocideâ€. Adoption of this draft law will influence both France-Turkey and France-Azerbaijan relations, said the protesters.

The participants demanded the withdrawal of France from the OSCE Minsk Group, discharging Franceâ€™s Total Company from Azerbaijan and freezing of all economic relations with this country.

The protesters chanted â€œStop, Franceâ€, â€œDown with France-Armenia friendshipâ€, â€œDown with Armenia-Iran friendshipâ€, â€œLong live Turkey-Azerbaijan fraternityâ€, â€œDonâ€™t forget Khojalyâ€ during the action.

The resolution of the protest action was presented to the French Embassy.
