After the Friday evening prayer in the Sarcheshme square of the Iranian Ardabil city, mostly populated with Azeris, a protest action against Israeli President Shimon Peres visit to Azerbaijan occurred, Ardabil local TV channel informs.

Protesters consider, that Zionist regime leader has nothing to do in Azerbaijan, and Baku authorities should realize that. Ardabil Azeris suppose that the visit aims at shattering the relations and creating the hostility and discord between Azeris of Iran and Azerbaijan.

Here are the quotations of some anonymous protesters: “The objective of Israel — to act against Azeri Muslims. We resolutely condemn these actions and try to impede this visit with our protests. Besides, we wish to appeal to Israel with a call: ‘Settle down, criminal Israel, enough!’ As for the Muslims in Azerbaijan, they have to be vigilant and master their own destiny. And our motto reads: ‘Death to Israel’. As Ayatollah Khamenei stated, that Israel is like a cancer, and we cannot live in peace until we remove it.”

During the manifestation, the protestors burned the Israeli flag and announced a 6-point statement, saying, that Shimon Peres visit to Baku signalizes the “the concession of the some Azeri territories to Armenia”.
