BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 24. The Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan has issued a statement regarding the
burning of the Turkish flag in Armenia on April 23, Trend reports.
''We strongly condemn the burning of Türkiye’s flag during the
“torchlight procession” in Iravan, Armenia’s capital, on 23 April.
The government of Armenia should have prevented such a campaign,
embodied in ethnic hatred, and should have taken appropriate
security measures on time. It is completely unacceptable to turn a
blind eye to such unacceptable acts under the pretext of democratic
norms, freedom of assembly, and freedom of expression. Such acts,
which are a clear manifestation of a revanchist and ethnic
hatred-based fascist mindset in Armenia, should be condemned and
prevented at the international level.
We urge the Armenian government to hold those responsible for
these acts accountable,'' the statement reads.
