Azerbaijani attacked Armenian pavilion in Tehran
17th international media exhibition-festival is currently hosted by Iran; and Armenia is represented by Panarmenian.net and Azg newspaper.
Panarmenian.net reporter tells from Iran that during the opening of Armenian pavilion Azerbaijani representatives demonstrated their disability to meet the problems through a civilized dialogue.
Armenia, like all other participant countries to the exhibition, is represented in a separate pavilion having a photograph of Artsakh symbol – We and Our Mountains. This initiative of Armenian side has been obviously alarming for the Azerbaijani delegation. Azerbaijani group was keeping an eye on the Armenians getting prepared the pavilion for the opening.
“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,” Panarmenian.net agency writes.
The organizers of the exhibition tried to take the unbalanced Azeri away from the Armenian pavilion but the incident was soon caught by the foreign visitors.
The organizers later said they were informed that “We and Our Mountains” memorial is situated in Nagorno-Karabakh, and now the Iranian side is discussing the photograph.
