Iranian Azerbaijanis Hold Protest Against Iranian Regime in Brussels
On March 25, Iranian Azerbaijanis living in Europe organized a protest in Brussels following the recent protests in Iran. The "Freedom and Justice" march started at 14:00 local time in Luxembourg Square in Brussels. The protest continued to Shuman Square, where the main institutions of the European Union are located.
The rally participants chanted the slogan "Freedom, Justice, National Government" with large Azerbaijani and so-called South Azerbaijani flags in their hands.
In the statement of the coordination group that organized the rally, it was stated that the action was organized as a protest against the repressive and inhumane policies of the Iranian authorities. "Our motherland Azerbaijan and other regions where Turks live in Iran face political, economic, and environmental disasters. Against the background of the current situation and protests that have been going on for more than five months, the need for unity and continuous action for the national rights of Turks living in Azerbaijan and other regions is greater than ever. "In this direction, as Turks living in Europe, we decided to take an effective step to condemn the repressive and inhumane measures taken by the Iranian regime against the protesters in South Azerbaijan and other regions," the coordination group said in a statement.
Moreover, Azerbaijani state-related news agencies, such as APA, Report published reports about the protest and slammed the Iranian regime.
