"We are surprised by very little. But French President Macron sometimes succeeds in this," said Maria Zakharova, an official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia at today's briefing while commenting on French President Emmanuel Macron's anti-Azerbaijani statements, APA's Moscow bureau reports.

According to her, Russia was surprised by Macron's statement in his speech in Marseille on June 28 that he put more pressure on Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev than he did on Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan: "President Macron's modesty loses only to his masculinity. Of course, we can not help but be surprised that he speaks with pathos about his personal role and services related to the settlement of Karabakh. Unfortunately, he did not say anything about the practical results of such fruitful works. There is a process, there is no result. It's possible that he didn't talk about it because no one ever saw the results. For a long time, we have no illusions that France can make a positive contribution to the settlement of Karabakh," she added.
