Armenian community of Argentina prevents Azerbaijanis of holding anti-Armenian activity
On February 24 Armenian community of Argentina held a protest in front of the Azerbaijani Embassy, preventing them from holding anti-Armenian activities dedicated to the anniversary of the Aghdam events of 1992.
Representative of Armenian community of Argentina told Panorama.am, that the Azerbaijani side, in order to avoid protests of the Armenians, has decided to hold the event at the Embassy of the country, with the doors closed.
It was originally planned to hold the protest in connection with the anniversary of the Sumgait massacre in front of the Embassy of Azerbaijan on February 26, however, after learning about the plans of the Azerbaijanis, the Armenian community mobilized its forces and went to the embassy on February 24. The action lasted for half an hour - as long as the Azerbaijani event lasted.
The participants of the rally were to deliver a letter of protest to the Embassy, the latter, however, refused to accept the letter.
Moreover, the Azerbaijanis were surprised and confused with the action, as they did not expect the Armenians to appear there and were caught off-guard.
According to the representative of the Armenian community, the police did not prevent the action. Azerbaijani embassy officials tried to convince the police to take appropriate measures to prevent the action, to which the law enforcement officials noted they would not intervene until the protest is peaceful.
According to the information, the Azerbaijani event was attended by about 15 people.
