London –APA. Azerbaijanis of Iranian ancestry living in the United Kingdom picketed the headquarters of BBC World Service in London, APA reports quoting Vesti.az. They chanted “Iran not only for Persians”, “Fundamental rights of 30 million Azerbaijanis in Iran are violated”. The picketers reproached the broadcasting of radio and TV programs in Farsi on BBC. They noted that these programs prevented the ethnic minorities in Iran to be heard in the world and censored the news program about this problem. The protest action was organized by the British unit of South Azerbaijan Association. The protesters issued a statement for the BBC management. They said in the statement that Azerbaijanis are not minority, but majority in Iran, but even their ordinary rights are violated there. There is no Azerbaijani school in the country and the Azerbaijani schoolchildren speaking in their native language face with pressures in the schools.
