Azeris tore Armenia’s and NKR’s flag in Paris

National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia together with NKR representatives of Armenian tour companies are to present Armenia and Artsakh at annual TopResa 2012 tour exhibition on September 18-21.
It was peculiar that in the history of international exhibition for the first time Armenia and Karabakh will be presented under a joint pavilion.
Lurer.com’s France sources inform, that this night Azeris clashed the joint pavilion and tore Armenia’s and Artsakh’s flag, the map of Armenia and Artsakh and information booklets.
There were also security workers in the area, but they failed to restrain Azeris.
In the morning Armenia’s delegation invited the appropriate organization, which restored the pavilion, but the organizers of the exhibition demand from the Armenia’s side that there weren’t any exhibits that would remind NKR, as it can rise the anger of Azeris and give way to conflict. Sources of Lurer.com inform that until this moment tension continues and Armenia’s delegation does its best to appear together with Artsakh.
Our MFA sources assured that tomorrow they’ll respond for sure to this vandalism.
Note, this year participation of more than 27 thousand tour representations from 160 countries is planned.
With this joint participation advertising materials and maps displaying cultural, historical and Christian heritage of Armenia and Artsakh are going to be presented to international society.
RA embassy in France supported the Armenian delegation to present themselves appropriately.
