Protest action was held outside of Israel and France Embassies on Jerusalem day

20 October 2006 16:37 (UTC +04:00)

The community members began their action by entering the alley and chanting Allahu Akbar (Allah is great). Ilgar Ibrahimoglu, the chief of the community said that this day was declared by Imam Khomeini and is the day of solidarity of Muslims.
â€œArmenians can not establish a state in Garabagh, neither can Zionists in Jerusalem. Remembering of Jerusalem is remembering of Muslim,â€? he said.
Ibrahimoglu reminded of humiliation of Prophet Muhammad (s.) many times and the attacks to Lebanon and said that it is important for Muslims to unite. Then the participants of piquet assembled outside of Israel Embassy holding the slogan â€œIsrael Stop!â€? in their hands. When the officers of Police station #27 demanded to leave the territory, the head of the community said that they will end piquet soon. The action continued without the interference of police, but after the piquet the police forces arrested seven demonstrators and they were taken to the Police station 37.
Though there was confrontation during the piquet outside of France embassy, the police allowed continuing the piquet in former Malakan Park. They chanted slogans â€œShameâ€? continuously and then Ibrahimoglu made a speech. He condemned the law adopted by France parliament that makes it crime to deny false Armenian genocide and considered it the support to terrorism. At the end the resolution was presented to the officer of embassy. /APA/
