Events, which were devoted to the 28th anniversary of the Armenian pogroms in the Azerbaijani town of Sumgait, were held Friday in the Hague, the Netherlands.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenian informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that collaborating Dutch Armenian organizations submitted a petition to the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bert Koenders.

In the petition, they urged the condemnation of the Armenian massacres that were carried out in Azerbaijan 28 years ago, and the making of efforts toward stopping Azerbaijan’s ongoing aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh and its ceasefire violations and acts of sabotage.

Also, the demonstrators marched toward the Azerbaijani embassy in the Netherlands.

The speakers at the rally outside the embassy condemned the anti-Armenian policy of the Azerbaijani authorities, called on the Azerbaijani youth to stand up to change their country’s warlike demeanor, and demanded an end to Azerbaijan’s continuing aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia.
