The statement says that chairperson of Paris Azerbaijan House Mirvari Fataliyeva and Azerbaijani student Vusal Huseynov were brutally beaten by Armenian Diaspora members on February 26 at the event organized by Armenian Diaspora organizations in the French National Assembly building.

“It happened in the presence of the members of the French National Assembly, they did not interfere. Violence against Azerbaijanis by Armenian lobby and their supporters proves once more that they are deeply concerned over Azerbaijan’s activities aiming to accurately inform the world community about the conflict-related truths. Despite such cases of violence, Azerbaijan’s diplomatic missions and Diaspora organizations abroad will further continue activities to inform the international community about the tragedies committed by Armenia against our people.

Condemning the violence committed against Azerbaijani citizens, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Republic believes the relevant agencies of France will comment on the incident, it will be thoroughly investigated by the country’s law-enforcement bodies and the perpetrators will be brought to justice.”
