    Iran police arrests Azerbaijanis in clashes with Armenians

    Baku Today 27/04/2004 01:07

    Ten ethnic Azerbaijanis were injured in the clashes with ethnic
    Armenians in Iran according to Turan News Agency. The incident came
    after Azerbaijanis tried to prevent Armenians from burning Turkish
    flag in front of the Turkish Embassy in Tehran.
    At the time Armenians were protesting against mass killings of
    Armenians in 1915 by the Ottoman Empire.
    Iranian police have arrested about forty Azerbaijanis who are the
    activists of South Azerbaijani Revival Movement.

    Meanwhile many Azerbaijani organizations in Iran have condemned
    Iranian authorities for supporting Armenians and called Iranian
    police to arrest those Armenians who wounded Azerbaijanis during the
    clash.
