France has adopted a strategy similar to Hungary’s in pressuring Azerbaijan to release French citizens detained there, raising concerns about diplomatic methods used to secure hostages. The move involves leveraging political influence and public pressure to push for the detainees’ release, mirroring Hungary’s approach under Viktor Orbán. Authorities in France are reportedly coordinating with European partners to apply coordinated diplomatic efforts, though the specifics of the negotiations remain unclear. The tactic underscores growing tensions between Western nations and Azerbaijan over human rights and detention practices.
