Protest rally held outside Iran's embassy in Baku

A group of young people held a protest action outside the Iranian embassy in Azerbaijan. APA reports that protesters chanted slogans as “Azerbaijan!”, “Long live Azerbaijan, shame on you Iran!”, “Iran, don’t support Armenians”. Representative of the Caucasus Muslim Office for western regions Haji Tahir Garabaghi said that such attitude of Iran against Azerbaijan is contradictory with Islam.

The resolution was read at the end of the protest action. Preconceived position of Iran against Azerbaijan, Iran’s friendly relations with Armenia and cultural genocide against 30 million Azerbaijanis in Iran were noted in the resolution: “Iranian government doesn’t want to see Azerbaijan’s achievements. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has never spoken about the genocide, which was perpetrated against Azerbaijanis in Karabakh, but during his visit to Armenia he laid a wreath at the made-up Armenian genocide monument. Azerbaijani young people will not allow Iran’s provocations in our country.”
