Azeri Diaspora in US protested Nagorno Karabakh separatistâ€™s visit

14 September 2011 07:54 (UTC +04:00)

The protest action was held at 6.30 to 8.30pm in front of the Rayburn House Office Building against separatist Ashot Gulian, who is visiting the US as a representative of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Dozens of Azerbaijanis, Turks and other supporters of Azerbaijanis gathered near the building to support the action.

The protesters held Azerbaijani flags and voiced slogans of protest. The action raised a lot of interest among the by-passers.

â€œThis is unacceptable that a representative of a separatist regime which is blamed in crime against humanity, is even able to visit the US and say that he is representing Nagorno-Karabakh as an officialâ€, Tural Dzhalilov, a student from Virginia, said.

â€œOur goal is to let the US and the world know what the Nagorno-Karabakh separatist regime is and that such things are unacceptable, therefore we are holding a protest actionâ€, Salim Islamov, an undergrad student, said.
