Azerbaijan pardons Frenchman after EU lifts sanctions on Russian billionaire
The metals and mining billionaire denied this characterisation of him. Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs said later that France's President Emmanuel Macron had agreed to start talks on Latvia's "accession to the French nuclear deterrence initiative". French relations with Azerbaijan have been poor in recent years, largely because of France's close relations with neighbouring Armenia.
