Azerbaijanis and Armenians living in the capital of Russia had a
fight. Coordinating Council of the Azerbaijani Youth in Moscow told
APA that a correspondence via internet caused the fight.
Armenians posted false reports about ancient Azerbaijani land Nagorno
Karabakh and called the territory Artsakh. They posted flag of the
aggressive regime on websites and spread false, insulting reports about
Azerbaijan. Azerbaijanis answered them via internet. As a result of
it, the young men had a dispute.
The Azerbaijanis and Armenians, who met in Ryazanski street to
continue the dispute, had a fight. 250-300 people from each side
reportedly participated in the fight. The Azeri, who slightly hurt
his head, was offered medical aid. The incident was prevented after
the intervention of law-enforcement bodies. 40 people were taken to
the police departments in Ryazanski and Vikhino regions of Moscow and
were later released. The Coordinating Council said that Azerbaijani
embassy in Russia and some entrepreneurs in Moscow had role in the
release of Azerbaijanis.
