ArmInfo. Iranian law enforcement agencies arrested 29 Azerbaijani activists who burned the Armenian flag during a football match in Tabriz.
According to Azerbaijani media, on March 1, twenty-eight Azerbaijanis were detained at the exit from the stadium after a football match in Tabriz, and on March 2, security officials detained activist Yusif Salahshur at his workplace. 9 of the detainees have already been identified.
To note, the cause of the burning of the Armenian flag by the Azerbaijanis was the selfie of the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan with the Armenian community in Tehran against the background of a poster with the inscription "Artsakh is Armenia and the point".
To recall, on Friday at the stadium in Tabriz, during the football match between the teams "Traktorsazi" and "Sepahan", the fans of the team "Traktorsazi" chanted the slogans "Our Karabakh will be ours", raised the flag of Azerbaijan and burned the flag of Armenia. In addition, Azerbaijani activists pasted leaflets with the inscriptions "Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan" on the building of the Armenian Embassy in Tehran.
