General Topology, chapter III, § 4. Groups operating properly on a topological space; compact ness in topological groups and spaces with operators

If K is a quasi-compact subgroup of a topological group G, then the equivalence relation x−1y∈Kx^{-1}y \in K is closed, and the canonical mapping φ:G→G/K\varphi : G \to G/K is proper.

The first assertion follows from Corollary 1 applied to G acting by right translations on itself, and the second assertion then follows from Chapter I, , no. 2, Theorem 1

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
