On April 9, the Coordination Center of Azerbaijani Associations in Sweden had staged an anti-Armenian demonstration in capital city Stockholm, and the event had brought together around 100 people, including Turks and Iraqi Turkmen.

Speaking at the picket, Barbaros Leylani, the vice president of the Turkish National Association of Sweden, made numerous anti-Armenian and nationalist statements. 

In particular, he called for the death of “Armenian dogs.”

The video of his remarks went viral in Sweden, and it gets a wide media coverage.

But in a telephone interview with TV4 Swedish television, Leylani stated that he had not prepared a speech for this demonstration, and that he had not meant such a thing.

Several dozen representatives of the Armenian community in Sweden, however, have petitioned to the Swedish police and requested that this person be prosecuted.
