The Religious Community of Icherishekher Juma Mosque visited Martyrs’
Alley and placed protest actions on Jerusalem day, APA reports.

The community members began their action by entering the alley and
chanting Allahu Akbar (Allah is great). Ilgar Ibrahimoglu, the chief
of the community said that this day was declared by Imam Khomeini
and is the day of solidarity of Muslims.

"Armenians can not establish a state in Garabagh, neither can Zionists
in Jerusalem. Remembering of Jerusalem is remembering of Muslim,"
he said.

Ibrahimoglu reminded of humiliation of Prophet Muhammad (s.) many
times and the attacks to Lebanon and said that it is important for
Muslims to unite. Then the participants of piquet assembled outside
of Israel Embassy holding the slogan "Israel Stop!" in their hands.

When the officers of Police station #27 demanded to leave the
territory, the head of the community said that they will end piquet
soon. The action continued without the interference of police, but
after the piquet the police forces arrested seven demonstrators and
they were taken to the Police station 37.

Though there was confrontation during the piquet outside of France
embassy, the police allowed continuing the piquet in former Malakan
Park. They chanted slogans "Shame" continuously and then Ibrahimoglu
made a speech. He condemned the law adopted by France parliament that
makes it crime to deny false Armenian genocide and considered it the
support to terrorism. At the end the resolution was presented to the
officer of embassy. /APA/
