“If the Western public is engaged in historical revision, analyzes the historical events that have already happened, then first of all they should deal with the criminal acts they have committed as part of their colonial policies,” an official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharova told a briefing as she commented on the statement by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev “France has to apologize for its colonial crimes and policy,” APA's Moscow correspondent reports.
“The West itself has declared war on history and started revising this history. If so, you need to page the date from earlier. They should look back at their colonial past and begin by revising that period. As for France, we have repeatedly said that, unfortunately, meddling in the internal affairs of its former colonies is an integral part of its modern policy. France treats its former colonies as its protectorates
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson also added that the former colonial countries that oppose this policy of France immediately come under pressure from Paris for such activity.
