Today, on the day of liberation of Shushi by the Karabakh self-defense forces, the flag of Armenia was set on fire by the participants of the event at the "Alley of Martyrs" in Baku, Azerbaijani portal "Minval.az" reported.

It is also noted that "the event was attended by the representatives of public intelligentsia." The portal also writes that before the participants of the event would burn the Armenian flag the police "protested and urged the citizens to keep calm." Nevertheless, the Armenian flag was set on fire.
