/PanARMENIAN.Net/ May 22, in Tabriz, Azerbaijanis organized a rally
and tried to seize the former premises of Milli Mejlis, presently
the government House of Tabriz. The rally participants were crying
out slogans like “Azeri people will not tolerate sufferings”,
“Chehraganly, the hero of Azerbaijan”, “Karabakh is ours and will
be ours”. The police dispersed the rally. As result, some 20 people
were killed and 100 were injured. The hospital where the injured were
taken is surrounded by the police. To prevent a repetition guardsmen
assaulted a hostel and detained some 100 people, reported Day.az.

It should be noted that the rallies in Tabriz and other town of
northern Iran were held in protest against offensive caricatures
of Azeris posted in Iran daily. According to Lenta.ru, the Iranian
government closed Iran daily and accused the journalists of publishing
provocative materials.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
