Today at about 17:00 the pro-government Union of Student Organizations of Azerbaijan held in picket in front of the OSCE Office in Baku to protest the beating of two Azerbaijani students at the event, organized by the Armenian Diaspora in the French National Assembly.
Participants of the rally chanted slogans condemning the aggression and assault against Azerbaijani students calling to commemorate the victims of the Khojaly genocide.
The Head of the Union, Shahin Ismayilov, gave the OSCE representative a resolution of the picket, which demands to punish those responsible.
