The Azerbaijani media have `mixed' the Armenians into a fight between
the Kurds and the Turks.
The unpleasant incident occurred in Odessa, Ukraine. A fight took
place, nearby the city's market, among the citizens of Turkey who were
ethnic Kurds and Turks, the Ukrainian media inform.
`Eight men, who already had argued while in Turkey, decided to settle
scores in Ukraine. [And] Four others had come from Turkey for this
[purpose]. The argument between the old enemies turned into a fight
and, subsequently, into bloodshed because they were carrying knives.
Fortunately, the market's security personnel were able to quickly
neutralize the four attackers, who [then] were taken to the police
station,' Segodnya newspaper reports.
And even though the Odessa-Armenian community sharply denied the
Armenians' involvement in this incident, the Azerbaijani media
portrayed the clash between the Kurds and the Turks as a fight between
the Armenians and the Azerbaijanis.
