Washington. Isabel Levine – APA. Azerbaijani Diaspora in the US held
a strong protest action in Washington DC, against the reception that
honored the representative of a separatist regime on Azerbaijan’s
occupied territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, APA’s correspondent reports.
The protest action was held at 6.30 to 8.30pm in front of the Rayburn
House Office Building against separatist Ashot Gulian, who is visiting
the US as a representative of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Dozens of Azerbaijanis, Turks and other supporters of Azerbaijanis
gathered near the building to support the action.
The protesters held Azerbaijani flags and voiced slogans of protest.
The action raised a lot of interest among the by-passers.
“This is unacceptable that a representative of a separatist regime
which is blamed in crime against humanity, is even able to visit the
US and say that he is representing Nagorno-Karabakh as an official”,
Tural Dzhalilov, a student from Virginia, said.
“Our goal is to let the US and the world know what the Nagorno-Karabakh
separatist regime is and that such things are unacceptable, therefore
we are holding a protest action”, Salim Islamov, an undergrad student,
said.
