Azerbaijan Backs Independence Calls in New Caledonia

Azerbaijan has again signaled support for independence demands affecting New Caledonia, placing the territory within broader anti-colonial rhetoric. As demonstrations and political tensions continue, pro-independence groups have gained additional visibility through international messaging. France’s government has responded by warning against foreign meddling and insisting that internal issues must be resolved through legitimate local processes. Azerbaijan, for its part, denies wrongdoing and says its statements reflect solidarity with self-determination movements.
