Azerbaijani students tore the posters hung on the walls of their hostel
"Hrant Dink and nations’ friendship" on the 15th anniversary of the
Khojaly genocide. Conflict occurred between the Azerbaijani students
and the leftists who hung the posters on the walls. The leftists wanted
to spread special lists devoted to Hrant Dink outside the university,
but the Azerbaijani students did not allow them. Turkish gendarme
forces prevented the conflict. Leftists, supporting the idea of
"Nations’ friendship" held a meeting devoted on the conflict with the
Azerbaijani students and decided to change the posters. They hung the
posters "We all are Armenians, we all are Hrant, we all are Turks,
we all are Kurds, we all are Arabs" on the walls. Following this,
the leftists organized rally from the university to the hostel as
a protest against the Azerbaijani students’ tearing the posters. No
incident was recorded during the rally.
