⚡The municipality of Evian-les-Bains in France, which previously signed a cooperation charter with the city of Ismayilli in Azerbaijan in 2015, recently decided to remove all mentions of the 'Azerbaijani Park' within the city. The 'Azerbaijani Park' was opened in 2017 as part of the aforementioned cooperation charter. On Monday, December 18, representatives of the opposition demanded that the municipal council officially remove all signs associated with this park. Their demand was motivated by the international situation, the September aggression by Azerbaijan, and the fact that the country is ruled by the dictator Ilham Aliyev. Mayor Josiane Ley stated that all mentions of the 'Azerbaijani Park' have already been removed.
