European Azeris protest Armenian congress’s convention
About one thousand Azerbaijani and Turkish Turks residing in the
Netherlands and Belgium marched from the Luxembourg Square of
Brussels to the building of the European Parliament on Tuesday.
Papers on Armenian atrocities were distributed among residents of
Brussels during the protest action, the European Azerbaijanis
Congress told AssA-Irada.
The march came as a protest against European Armenians’ intention to
put pressure on international organizations with a view to achieving
determination of the status of the self-proclaimed Upper Garabagh
Republic and its recognition at the congress held in the Belgium
capital on the same day.
The international congress of European Armenians discussed the issue
of opening the Turkish-Armenian borders as well.*
