Azerbaijani-Turkish anti-Armenian demonstration fails in Paris

PanARMENIAN.Net – 18 Azerbaijanis and Turkish organizations staged
protest outside Armenian embassy in Paris, with the action having
brought together only 150 people, mainly from Germany and the
Netherlands.

Banned from going out into the road, the demonstrators held the action
along the building, Paris-based journalist Jean Eckian reported.

The action was held on the eve of Armenian organizations’ protest in
front of Azerbaijani embassy in Paris.

Armenian protesters called on the French government to press Aliyev to
immediately incarcerate Ramil Safarov, the axe-murderer who killed
Armenian soldier Gurgen Margaryan in 2004 during a NATO Partnership
for Peace mission in Budapest.

Safarov, who was tried and found guilty, was serving a life sentence
in Budapest before Hungary agreed to extradite him to Baku on August
31. Upon setting foot in Azerbaijan, Safarov was pardoned and promoted
to the rank of major in the Azeri Army.
