Paris-based â€œHouse of Azerbaijanâ€ chairperson to appeal to Supreme Court of Paris for relaunching of criminal case on her beating by Armenians - EXLUSIVE

12 September 2013 15:14 (UTC +04:00)

Fataliyeva told APA that the Azerbaijanis in this country have become angry as Paris Prosecutor’s Office canceled the criminal case without detaining and punishing the criminals and they decided to appeal to a higher instance in this regard.

She noted that lawyers are currently preparing an appeal to the Supreme Court of Paris: “The early cancel of the criminal case angered us. They argue that there is no physical evidence to bring someone to justice. But this is absurd, because the scene was full of people, there are photos and a medical opinion. Therefore we will not be quiet, until as long as these people are detained and punished.”

Attending the event entitled "Sumgait events after 25 years: the present situation and future prospects for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh" held by the Armenian Issues Bureau in France with the attendance of representatives of the Armenian-French community and several members of the French Parliament in the French National Assembly, the members of Azerbaijani Diaspora informed the participants that February 26 is the 21st anniversary of the Khojaly genocide in Azerbaijan. Though their position caused serious objection, the members of Azerbaijani Diaspora resolutely said that the views voiced on Sumgait events are not based on historical facts. Following this, instigated by French parliamentarian Francois Roshebloun the participants attacked and brutally beat the head of Azerbaijani Diaspora and Azerbaijani student. The participants, including members of the French Parliament who attended the meeting did not try to prevent the atrocity.
