He told Trend Nov. 14 that according to information received by Azerbaijan's Embassy from the French Foreign Ministry, as of 16:00 Baku time (UTC/GMT +4 hours) there are no Azerbaijani nationals among the terrorist attack victims.

Numerous terrorist attacks were conducted in Paris on Nov. 13-14. Four gunmen systematically slaughtered at least 87 young people attending a rock concert at the Bataclan music hall.

Some 40 more people were killed in five other attacks in the Paris region, including an apparent double suicide bombing outside the national stadium where French president Hollande and German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier were watching a friendly soccer international. Some 200 people were injured.
