Feb. 26, on the occasion of 22nd anniversary of the Armenian pogroms in Sumgait, Armenian community representatives in Poland held an action of protest in front of the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Warsaw.
The city authorities allowed demonstrators to head a procession along the street to the Embassy. The demonstrators were carrying Armenian flag and banners condemning the massacres in Sumgait and wishes to hand over a letter to the embassy employees. The staff members refused to take the letter claiming they did not speak Polish. The letter said of real Sumgait events, as well as appeal to the international community to recognize massacres of Armenians in Sumgait as a continuation of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915. Following the protest, the demonstrators gathered near the Armenian Embassy and lighted candles at the cross-stone. RA Ambassador to Poland Ashot Galoyan said that Azerbaijan seeks to spin a yarn about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. He stressed that the action in front of Azerbaijani embassy is another proof that Armenians do not forget anything, and in case of necessity are ready to offer rebuff to false Azerbaijani propaganda.T.P.
