Azerbaijan and Armenian separatists from the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh held their first direct peace talks Thursday, after Baku claimed to have regained control over the breakaway region in a lightning military operation that France slammed as "illegal, unjustifiable and unacceptable". FRANCE 24 spoke to Leyla Abdullayeva, Azerbaijan's ambassador to France, about the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Azerbaijan on Tuesday unleashed an artillery barrage and drone attacks against outnumbered and undersupplied pro-Armenian forces on the mountainous territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.
