  • BAKU: Ethnic Azeris, Armenians Clash in Iranian Capital, 40 Arrested

    ETHNIC AZERIS, ARMENIANS CLASH IN IRANIAN CAPITAL, 40 ARRESTED - AZERI TV

    ANS TV, Baku
    25 Apr 04


    Ethnic Armenians in Tehran have staged a march dedicated to their
    false genocide claims from the Armenian church located at the
    Karimkhan cemetery to the Turkish embassy on Ferdowsi Street and the
    UN office. In the process, they clashed with Azeris. Forty Azeris were
    arrested and 20 were seriously injured.

    The head of the Baku office of the National Revival Movement of
    Southern Azerbaijan, Huseyn Turkel, said that the names of those
    arrested and injured are known. Some of the injured are in hospital
    and some in prison. He said that three of the injured were in a
    critical condition. One of them was stabbed six times.

    To recap, the Armenians were chanting "Death to Turks!" and "Damn the
    Turks!". The Armenians and Azeris clashed when the latter tried to
    prevent the Armenians from setting fire to a Turkish flag outside the
    Turkish embassy.
