The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan strongly condemns the burning of Turkiye’s flag during the “torchlight procession” held on April 23 in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.

Axar.az reports that the ministry stated it is completely unacceptable to turn a blind eye to such unacceptable acts under the pretext of democratic norms, freedom of assembly, and freedom of expression.

"Such acts, which are a clear manifestation of a revanchist and ethnic hatred-based fascist mindset in Armenia, should be condemned and prevented at the international level.

We urge the Armenian government to hold those responsible for these acts accountable," the MFA added.
