Baku. Mahbuba Gasimbayli -APA. "20th anniversary of liberation of
Artsakh" will be held in Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los-Angeles on
May 2. Armenian Cultural Fund will organize it. Cinema festival on
the liberation of Shusha will be organized by Armenians on May 9.

MP Ganira Pashayeva told APA that other festivals, events on the
occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenians will be held. To her,
Elin Suleymanov, Azerbaijani Consul General to Los-Angeles has
started taking a number of measures in this regard. He appealed
to leadership of Theatre and noted that Armenians’ action was of
diversion character. The letter says that Nagorno Karabakh is an
integral part of Azerbaijan and Armenians have occupied it.

"After measures taken by Elin Suleymanov, Armenians began to hold
protest actions", she said. Pashayeva added that Armenians would not
hold events only in Los-Angels, but in other countries of the world.

"Azerbaijani Diaspora should take adequate steps on the prevention
of such events. We should appeal to official bodies of cities to
prevent such events. On the other hand, Azerbaijani Diaspora should
hold protest action and deliver realities in the cities, where such
events are held", she said.
