Baku. Kamala Guliyeva â€“ APA. On March 3, AZER-CZECH Society and CAHAN Student-Youth Union in Czechia picketed in the square, where the presentation ceremony of the book and photo exhibition â€œAncient Artsakhâ€ prepared on the initiative of Armenian photographer Garik Ovanesyan was being held. Chairman of AZER-CZECH Society Elshan Nazarov told APA that the picket foiled the opening of the photo exhibition and presentation of the same-name book. Photo exhibition â€œKhojaly tragedyâ€ was organized in the open air to make the picket more efficient. Nazarov said the people of Prague took interest in the exhibits prepared by Heydar Aliyev Foundation. Azerbaijanâ€™s embassy in Czechia also supported the event.

State Committee for Diasporas told APA that posters on Khojaly tragedy had been demonstrated in the picket. The picketers stated that Nagorno Karabakh was an integral part of Azerbaijan and demanded Armenia to stop aggression against Azerbaijan. Moreover, booklet â€œ10 issues you should know about Nagorno Karabakhâ€ was distributed among the participants of the ceremony and passersby. About 500 leaflets about Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict were distributed. Along with Azerbaijanis, citizens of other CIS states, Turkey and Czechia also attended the event.
