Azerbaijani Embassy hands a protest note to the French Foreign Ministry
Embassy of Azerbaijan in France has handed over a protest note to the French Foreign Ministry due to the attack on the citizens of Azerbaijan by the French deputies.
According to the Azerbaijani Embassy in Paris, one more note will be presented to the National Assembly of France, where the incident occurred.
On 26 February two representatives of the Azerbaijani Diaspora - Mirvari Fataliyeva and Vusal Huseynov were attacked in the building of the National Assembly of France; the MP Francois Rozenblun and members of the Armenian Diaspora were involved in the beating of Azerbaijanis.
The incident was caused by the speech of the Azerbaijanis at the event on the Sumgayit events in 1988. Azerbaijanis said that the real genocide were the events in Khojaly in 1992, and this should be recognized as genocide. -16D-
