ACTIVISTS OF AZERI “MOVEMENT FOR KARABAKH LIBERATION” TORE OFF OSCE FLAG FROM FLAGSTAFF IN FRONT OF ORGANIZATION REPRESENTATION BUILDING IN BAKU

Yesterday over 100 activists of Azeri “Movement for Karabakh Liberation” picketed the OSCE representation building in Baku. As reported by Azeri information sources, the picketers protested against “futile activities of the OSCE Minsk group in settling the Nagorno Karabakh confrontation.” They demanded the MG “to fundamentally review its position and recognize Armenia as aggressor.” Otherwise, in the movement activists’ opinion, the Minsk group should disintegrate. As a response to the OSCE representation officer demonstrative refusal to accept the written protest of the picketers, the brutalized activists tore off the OSCE flag from the flagstaff in front of the representation building.
