“Ukrainians are responsible for unrest in Marganets city of Dnepropetrovsk province in Ukraine”
Head of the Congress OF Ukrainian Azerbaijanis Akif Gulmammadov told Day.Az.


“Armenians are to be blamed for the scuffle. They behaved in a very provoking manner,” he said.


“Azerbaijanis are very peaceful people. So, we do not have any problem with Ukrainians,” Gulmammadov said.

“I have lived in Ukraine for a long time and I dare say that Ukrainians are very calm, friendly and tolerant people,” he said.

Unrest provoked by murder of Ukrainian police of Armenian origin took place among national minorities in Marganets city of Dnepropetrovsk province in Ukraine on June 28.

“Armenians insulted Ukrainians which led to a strong scuffle. Ukrainians were fighting without anything whereas Armenians had knifes and broken bottles,” Dni.ru quoted a witness as saying.
