The Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared seven French parliamentarians persona non grata.

The visit of French parliamentarians to Nagorno Karabakh without relevant notification of Azerbaijan has served as a reason for such decision, spokesman of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov said.

“We have included their names in the list of people whose visit to Azerbaijan is undesirable,” Polukhov noted.

According to him, such policy will continue with respect to persons “who display disrespect towards the Azerbaijani territorial integrity”, Informer.Az reported.

Last month five Russian parliamentarians were declared persona non grata in Azerbaijan.
