Azerbaijani residents in the Czech Republic organized a large-scale protest rally on Sunday at the Náměstí Republiky (Republic Square) in Prague, initiated by the Czech-Azerbaijan Union.

The rally aimed to bring attention in this European country to the issue of Armenian mine terrorism, the destructive consequences of Armenian occupation in Azerbaijani territories, as well as the double standards of certain European countries towards Azerbaijan, and the aspirations of the Western Azerbaijan Community.

The protest rally united not only members of the Azerbaijani diaspora but also Czech citizens sympathetic to our concerns, along with representatives from other diasporas.

“Through protests, Azerbaijanis residing in the country aim to inform both the Czech public and residents of third countries about the injustices faced by the Azerbaijani people during years of occupation, which persists to this day,” said Farid Amiraliyev, the head of the organization, in an interview with AZERTAC.

The protest also included the distribution of leaflets to passersby, providing detailed information about Armenia's mine terrorism and the 30-year occupation, which was brought to an end by the victorious Army of Azerbaijan.

The Armenian diaspora`s objections to call off the action at the Prague City Hall failed.
