Abbas Abbasov, Executive Director of the Baku Initiative Group,
made this statement during a press conference dedicated to the
international conference on “Colonialism: Erasure of National and
Religious Identity.”
Abbasov emphasized that political arrests are occurring not only
in Kanaky but also across other French overseas territories,
pointing to systematic human rights violations.
“As always, we will support all independence supporters and
fight for their rights. France is attempting to establish dialogue
with Kanaky, but so far, without success. The Baku Initiative Group
is ready to act as a mediator in this process and demands that
France cease human rights violations in all its overseas
territories,” he said.
