(Presenter, referring to preceding report about protest of the
Karabakh Liberation Organization at the British embassy in Baku) There
has been more radical protest against British officials’ visit to
Karabakh.

Using black paint, unidentified people today wrote the name of (Deputy
Speaker of the British House of Lords) Baroness Caroline Cox, who led
the British delegation during the Karabakh visit, on the memorial (at
Martyrs’ Avenue in central Baku) to British soldiers killed in Baku in
1918 (fighting Turkish troops).

Police arrived at the scene and removed paint off the memorial. It is
still unknown who is responsible for the incident.
