The Support Group for the Corsican People of the Milli Majlis has issued a statement, APA reports.

The statement says that the adoption by the French National Assembly of the constitutional bill providing for the broadest special autonomous status for Corsica within the French Republic marks an important milestone in the history of the Corsican people.

"The bill provides for granting Corsica the broadest self-governing powers, taking into account the island's historical, cultural, social, and geographical characteristics. In this regard, it is regarded as an important political outcome of the Corsican people's long-standing peaceful, democratic, and consistent struggle.

The statement also says that the Support Group for the Corsican People of the Milli Majlis of the Republic of Azerbaijan will continue to support the objective assessment by the international community of the Corsican people's legitimate rights, democratic will, and peaceful political struggle: "The Support Group for the Corsican People of the Milli Majlis of the Republic of Azerbaijan calls for granting the Corsican people the broadest autonomy while preserving their historical, national, and cultural identity."
