People affiliated with the Azeri Embassy in Paris begin brawl at an event marking the 25th anniversary of the Sumgait Porgoms

PARIS—An Azeri delegation disrupted a commemoration event marking the 25th anniversary of the Sumgait Massacres taking place inside the French Parliament Tuesday when they refused to stand in observance of a moment of silence for the victims.

According to Mourad Papazian, chairman of the Coordinating Council of Armenian Organization in France (CCAF), one of the Azeris punched an event organizer, Hratch Varjabedian, who had approached them to inquire about their show of disrespect.

Eyewitnesses reported that one of the Azeris shouted that he would only stand to commemorate “the victims of Khojaly.”

After Varjabedian was punched, a group of young Armenians rushed to the scene and a brawl ensued before audience members broke it up and police cordoned off the room.

Surprisingly, Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to France, Elchin Amirbeyov immediately arrived at the scene accompanied by other embassy officials and issued a condemnation of the attack.

The APA news agency reported on its Web site that Armenians locked the door of the auditorium and were accompanied by French members of the audience in “brutally” beating them.

The event, entitled, “Sumgait events after 25 years: the present situation and future prospects for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh” was organized by French Parliament member Francois Roshebloun and was attended by several parliament members.

The Nor Serount in France (AYF of France) cancelled a day-long demonstration scheduled to take place Wednesday in front of the Azeri Embassy in France for fear of more Azeri-initiated violence.

    Utter disrespect and barbaric behaviour. We may disagree, but we don’t show up to their events with the intention of disrupting and provoking. And as far as I know, they don’t even outright deny that massacres took place in Sumgait and other towns, yet they’ll still do anything to incite hateful actions. How can anybody expect the people of Artsakh to ever live under Azeri rule again is beyond me. Actions speak louder then their empty promises or security and prosperity, and with these actions they prove time again that they are unfit to even be in the same room with civilized people.

    Hopefully the damage caused to those TurkoAzeri animals in defending themselves by the Armenians, was extremely extensive. Show no mercy to these animals, they have lower worth than sewer rats. God bless the French AYF.

    We need to have a talk with the French politicians about this disrespect, this is unacceptable!

    This is a typical reaction from an Axerbaijani racist psycopath. I wish I was there because I would beat the crap out of the Axerbaijani assailant all the way back to the embassy of the artificial state of Axerbaijan and then shove the Artsakh and the Armenian tri-color flags up his rear.

    you cant win with these azeris in my opinion, the turks do the same thing too. they are fueling fabricated hate in their own people for the riteous turkic self fulfilling prophecy that they are the victims and they must fight to kill the enemy. Guess what, as an armenian, i have a feeling bad things are going to happen to armenians.

    This is azeri’s culture : killings, riots, & crimes. This criminal act of the azeris must not go unpunished. The French parlement should take appropriate action againt these azeris , and it will be a lesson for the azeris in order to respect the law & order in the civilized countries. .,

    If the Azeri’s want us to recognize khojalu they have first to recognize the pogroms of the 1800’s by Sultan Hamid,the Genocide of 1915-1921 by the New Turks(yeni turks)party post Ottoman Empire and continued by Mustafa kemal(Ataturk)after 1918-1921,followed by the massacres of innocent Azeri-Armenian citizens of Ganja, Sumgait and Baku in 1988 not to mention the recent beheading(axing to death) of LT.Gurgen Markaryan committed during a NATO English supplementary course in Hungary while the victim was asleep!! How can these Azeri’s only remember the battle for khojalu and not acknowledge the loss of innocent lives of the aforementioned.I am not surprised by their actions of disrupting this commemoration and then twisting the truth of what ensued by blaming the Armenians as the cause of it all.This further proves how much they hate the Armenian people on the whole and should be reason enough to allow the emergence of the Nagorno-Karabagh(Artsakh)replublic .If for any reason the World believes that the Azeri nation is the innocent victims of Armenian oppression let them look back at the documented history that I have listed above. which out number the event which took place at khojalu,which by the way is also distorted to show that the Armenian people are heartless savages and not the considerate humanitarians which announced on loudspeakers in Azerbaijani and Russian that they have opened a safe corridor for the women and children and elderly(non combatants)to exit the village before the offensive against the combatants remaining!!They used the exiting innocents as human shields and fired upon our positions and when we answered by firing back,they portrayed us as savages which kill indiscriminately!! If ever there is to be peace among our two nations we have to bury the hachet(Axe)between us and respect each others existence equally.I pity the Turk and Azerbaijani people for believing the propaganda that their respective governments are feeding them on a daily basis further fueling the hatred against Armenians.Which is further witnessed by the murder of Hrant Dink and the present day murders of the elderly Turkish-Armenian women in Istanbul Turkey.These attrocities against humanity can only cease when the World finally recognizes and punishes all those people which deny that the Genocide of 1915-1921 was factually committed by the ancestors of the modern Turkey(Turkiye)and make them accountable in a court of law. Otherwise we will be witnessing yet many more incidents of unnecessary loss of life in which we are all responsible .France passed the law which condemns Genocide deniers from causing such disturbances during Mr.Sarkozy’s Presidency. They have to implement it in order to change this cycle in the name of Justice and humanity. Finally the AYF of France should not have cancelled their demonstration in front of the Azeri Embassy out of fear that a similar situation might occur,on the contrary they should have gone through with it further showing the world who is the true aggressor by filming the outcome and submitting it on the social networks!!!

    I can name animals that I respect more than Azeris. These Azeri people are terrible, terrible people. They are building up arms thinking they will take back the lands they initially stole from Armenians? Russian went into Afghanistan thinking the same thing. Guess what happened to the Russians? They quietly went out of the same road they drove in from.

    It is not your money, nor your military buildup. It is your people’s will to fight. We (Armenians) are fighting for our people, for our country, for our ancestors! Azerbaijan will in NO WAY take back those lands.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
