  Armenia’s pavilion attacked by Azerbaijanis at media exhibition in Tehran  October 26, 2010 - 10:24 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - It’s not a secret that conferences and exhibitions have been for a long time used by Azerbaijan as the most convenient platform to spread anti-Armenian propaganda. The 17th media exhibition in Tehran, where Armenia was represented by PanARMENIAN.Net news agency and Azg newspaper, is not an exception. During the opening ceremony Azerbaijan’s representatives once again proved their incapability to resolve problems in a civilized manner. The Armenian pavilion featured a photograph of Artsakh’s symbol - We and Our Mountains memorial - what aroused indignation of the Azerbaijani delegation. While the correspondents from PanARMENIAN.Net and Azg were preparing their pavilion for opening, the Azerbaijanis were closely following the action. After the map of Armenia and Artsakh Republic was stuck to the stand, they first demanded that the map and the image of the monument should be removed but then, without waiting for any decision by the exhibition management, one of them burst into the pavilion and tore away the map. It’s also worth mentioning that the Azerbaijanis called the Turkish delegation to protect their interests. Attempts to draw the infuriated Azerbaijani aside attracted attention of a dozen of foreign attendees. The exhibition organizers said they were not aware that the We and Our Mountains monument represented as a symbol of Armenia is situated in Nagorno Karabakh. Currently, the replacement of the photo is being discussed. PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent will report on further developments.
