No:164/25, Statement on the burning of Azerbaijan’s flag in Armenia and France
25 April 2025 16:10
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.
