Azerbaijanis & Armenians at Turkish Embassy
Turkish Embassy, London. Wed 24 Apr 2019
There were still no buses down Park Lane and I had to walk to the
Turkish Embassy, where the Armenians were just setting up
beyond them were another group of protesters, with various flags,
from countries which were once part of the Ottoman Empire. Below the
Turkish flag is that of East Turkestan
On the fence was a banner from the South Azerbaijan Indpendence Party
The blue flag with a yellow sun is for Kazakhstan and the green one
is for Turkmenistan
The white flag with red stripes, crescent and star is for Turkish
Northern Cyprus
The blue red and green flag is the South Azerbaijan Independence Party
flag
Back with the Armenians, a banner commemorates Armenian Commander
Nubar Ozanyan (1956-2017) who
died fighting ISIS at Raqqa in 2017; with the message "From Palestine
to Karabakh, from Basri to Rojava,
Hi, Commander. You were our guide."
Qarabag Futbol Klubu was one of the founders of the Azerbaijan Premier
League, base in Baku since the Nagorno-Karabakh war.
'Justice for Khojaly' - massacres by Armenians in the Nagorno-Karabakh
war, the largest at Khojaly in 1992, killed between 161 and 613 civilians.
Only a few Armenians had turned up and were standing behind a long version
of their flag when I left.
More were expected later as the protest was to continue for several hours
longer.
