BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 24. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan has issued a statement regarding the burning of the Turkish flag in Armenia on April 23, Trend reports.
''We strongly condemn the burning of Türkiye’s flag during the “torchlight procession” in Iravan, Armenia’s capital, on 23 April. The government of Armenia should have prevented such a campaign, embodied in ethnic hatred, and should have taken appropriate security measures on time. It is completely unacceptable to turn a blind eye to such unacceptable acts under the pretext of democratic norms, freedom of assembly, and freedom of expression. Such acts, which are a clear manifestation of a revanchist and ethnic hatred-based fascist mindset in Armenia, should be condemned and prevented at the international level.
We urge the Armenian government to hold those responsible for these acts accountable,'' the statement reads.
