MySQL. RESTRICT blocking?

Question

MySQL

There are 2 InnoDB tables related by foreign key. The association has a RESTRICT type constraint. For example: tables `country` and `city`.
I'm trying to remove the country that is referenced from `city` - it is not deleted. Everything is correct!
Is it possible to temporarily "ask" the server to forget about this connection and let me delete the record?
I would like to hear any possible options.
Thank you!
