The Armenian community in Prague, Czech Republic, gave a proper response to the event organized by Azerbaijanis on the 20th anniversary of the “Khojalu massacre”.

Azerbaijan’s embassy, with support of Azerbaijani businessmen and Heydar Aliyev Foundation organized an event on February 24 on a Prague square dedicated to the so-called “Khojalu genocide”. Organizers of the event placed a tent in the square with Azerbaijan’s flag beside it. The event aimed at spreading Azerbaijan’s position on Khojalu events, says the report received by PanARMENIAN.Net.

During the event free foodstuff was distributed in the tent and Azeri souvenirs and carpets were being sold. In addition to propaganda materials, the tent also hosted restaurant advertisements, as the event supporters demanded. Sponsors also insisted that the organizers get a permission qualifying it as an ad and trade event and not a propaganda action.

The report says that 6-7 students in the tent were distributing propaganda materials to passers-by. The Armenian community in Czech Republic could not remain indifferent to such initiative of Azerbaijanis. From the very beginning of Azeri action, Armenian were spreading Czech-language leaflets to passers-by refuting Azerbaijan’s misinformation. Coming as a surprise for Azerbaijanis, Armenian activists entered the very tent and distributed their brochures inside as well.

Armenian activists spread a total of 300 leaflets and 50 brochures.

Ambassador of Turkey to Czech Republic, Cihad Erginay also arrived on the scene. The ambassador’s speech was suddenly disturbed by a rally of Krishna supporters that passed by with loud drum-roll and singing.
