Armenians in Moscow sell tickets for group tour to Shusha

They talked about the activity of the CCRA in Moscow, their activity for restoration of the broken sovereignty of our country as well as their political struggle with Armenians in Russia. The students said they are facing difficulties in this work alone complaining of lack of support from the Azerbaijani Embassy.

"The map of Azerbaijani province Karabakh is sold in a shop called "Armenia" in the center of Moscow. The students cannot stage any unsanctioned actions. The Embassy has not responded positively to their appeal," the CCRA members said.

The CCRA 15 members prevented the opening of the exposition of the alleged "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" in a tourism exhibition in Moscow in a protest action several days ago. They were taken to police by the exhibition organizers and were set free. The protesters wearing clothes written the words "End Armenian aggression!" on and wrapping themselves with Azerbaijani flags shouted slogans - "Nagorno Karabakh is Azerbaijan's territory!", "Don't believe in lies of Armenians, the exhibits demonstrated in the exhibition belong to Azerbaijan!", "Welcome to the military zone!", "Nagorno Karabakh is in the hands of separatist , aggressive and terrorist regime!".

The tourism exhibition was opened in Moscow May 11. Though the alleged "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" was not in the list of participants, it was announced that May 13 there would be a stand on tourism potential in the alleged republic. The CCRA members informed the Azerbaijan Embassy about it May 12. Though the Embassy officers Shamil Garayev and Javanshir Akhundov talked to the exhibition center representatives, it gave no results.

The exhibition organizers said they would remove awareness-raising materials but not the stand. So, the Azerbaijani students decided to prevent the opening of the exposition, and they achieved their aim. The opening was broken but the stand was displayed in the exhibition till the end - 14 May. The students say that by demonstrating tourism opportunities in Azerbaijani region of Shuha, which has been occupied by Armenians, the invaders sell tickets for group tour to the city for lovers of summer and winter tourism.

They also reported that Armenians are organizing different political events as well as publicizing information on alleged destruction of Armenian graveyards in Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan. Our students regret that only concerts were organized in the framework of the Azerbaijani Year in Russia last year, there was no political action on the invasion of Nagorno Karabakh.

The Embassy of Azerbaijan in Russia states that the Embassy is closely cooperating with the CCRA, however, it is not allowed to hold any action as it has not been registered officially.
