Zakharova should know that, according to the UN practice, a peacekeeping operation, unlike a peacekeeping operation, does not limit the sovereignty of the country where the contingent is located. This can be done only on the basis of a special resolution of the UN Security Council.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from former Azerbaijani Foreign Minister, political scientist Tofig Zulfugarov, commenting on Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement on the illegal visit of French politician Valery Pekres to the liberated territories of Azerbaijan.

"This means that tasks such as enforcing the country's laws governing the state border regime and protecting the economic space cannot be delegated to peacekeepers," she said. Their duties are limited to law enforcement and security functions in the area of ​​temporary responsibility. That's it!

Thus, the visit of Madame Pekres, organized by the curators of the foreign intelligence service, is illegal and contradicts the spirit of the statement of November 10, 2020. If anyone wants to influence the French presidential election, let them not do so at the expense of our sovereign rights! ” - said the political scientist.

Zakharov said yesterday that the order of foreign citizens, employees of international organizations, as well as missions to visit the liberated regions of Azerbaijan temporarily under the control of the Armed Forces was determined by the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent.
