“The burning of flags is going on in Azerbaijan. The flag of Switzerland was also burnt for some reason. The problem is that the rally initiators are ignorant,” political scientist Levon Melik- Shahnazaryan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, the idea of burning was the following: to burn the flag of Denmark as the state that allowed the publishing of cartoons of Prophet Muhammad and the flag of Armenia as a Christian state. “Azerbaijan is trying to include Armenia into the list of anti-Armenian countries. Since the flags of Denmark and Switzerland are alike a shocking mistake occurred. Moreover, Swiss Foreign Minister was paying a formal visit to Azerbaijan last week,” he said.
According to checked information, a workshop for the sewing of Armenian flags for public burning is functioning in Baku at present. “In this view I would like to remind that Armenia has trophy Azeri flags left at the battle field. If we start burning them every day they will be sufficient for a year. But fortunately nobody suffers from pyromania in Armenia,” the Armenian political scientist stated.
