Armenian President Robert Kocharyan was met with a protest action
staged today by a group of Azerbaijanis outside the PACE
[Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe] building in
Strasbourg.
The action was organized by the congress of world Azerbaijanis, the
society of cultural relations and a local student organization of
Azerbaijanis.
The pickets chanted "Karabakh" and "Down with Armenian occupation",
and demanded that the UN resolutions urging Armenia to vacate the
occupied Azerbaijani territories be enforced.
The picket was still under way when the Armenian president opened an
exhibition in the PACE lobby on the Armenian genocide by Ottoman
Turkey. The exhibition, organized by the Armenian side, features photo
materials and correspondence documents of researcher Fridtjof Nansen
who helped some Armenian refugees from Turkey at the beginning of last
century.
