France’s Évian-les-Bains removes all mentions of ‘Park of Azerbaijan’

The French municipality of Évian-les-Bains has recently decided to remove all inscriptions mentioning the “Park of Azerbaijan” in the city.

The “Park of Azerbaijan” opened in 2017 as part of a cooperation agreement signed with the Azerbaijani city of Ismayilli in 2015.

On December 18, the opposition representatives demanded the municipality council officially remove all inscriptions mentioning the park. Their demand was motivated by the situation in the world, Azerbaijan’s military attack against Artsakh in September, and the fact that Azerbaijan is ruled by dictator Ilham Aliyev. Évian’s Mayor Josiane Lei said that all mentions of the “Park of Azerbaijan” have already been removed.
