Armenians in California held protest against the visit of the Azerbaijani delegation to Senate, the Asbarez daily of the U.S. reports referring to the Hay Dat commission in America.

The Armenians of US California held a protest in front of the Capitol against the visit of the delegation of the Azerbaijani Parliament and State Oil Company to the Senate of California.

“Senate of American California State is an important center for democracy. It is not a place for showing off the dictatorial regime of Aliev,” Tereza Yerimian, the Director of External Affairs of the Hay Dat commission has told.

Members of Legislative Assembly of California Karo Achadyan, Adrin Nazaryan, Jim Paterson, and Scot Wilq joined the protest organized by the Armenian Youth Federation and Hay Dat.

“The aggression against the Armenians and inhabitants of NKR continues after 25 years of the massacres of Armenians in Sumgait, Baku, Kirovabad, Maragha. The reception of the representation of the Aliev’s dictatorial regime in the Senate carries bad messages. Baku is against the calls of the US for holding democratic reforms in Azerbaijan and thwarts international efforts for settling the regional problems in peaceful way,” Ardin Nazaryan mentions.

“One day before the visit of the Azerbaijani delegation to Senate the Aliyev administration had used water cars and rubber bullets to disperse the peaceful protesters. These are not the values and the democratic traditions that anyone shares in California or the US,” Sevak Tchekidjian, representative of ARF said.
