The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Azerbaijan has issued a statement regarding the burning of the Azerbaijani flag in Armenia and France, APA reports, citing the MFA.
The statement reads:
"We strongly condemn the burning of Azerbaijan’s flag during the “torchlight procession” in Iravan, Armenia‘s capital on 23 April, as well as during a gathering of the Armenian community in the French capital Paris on 24 April.
The governments of Armenia and France should have prevented such campaigns embodied in ethnic hatred, in a timely manner and should have taken appropriate security measures.
The governments of Armenia and France should hold those responsible for these acts accountable.
Such acts, which are still a clear manifestation of a revanchist and ethnic hatred-based mindset in Armenia and beyond, should be condemned and prevented at the international level."
