The Russian Embassy in Armenia was attacked after the Karabakh statement

The statement of the Russian representative about the Karabakh in the UN Security Council provoked a negative reaction in Yerevan. The embassy of the Russian Federation in the city was poured in red paint. The Russian Embassy in the capital of Armenia was poured in red paint after the actual recognition of Karabakh by the territory of Azerbaijan. Two young people protested against the statement of the Russian Federation. They brought red paint to the embassy and poured the entrance.

The guard did not have time to stop the protesters. After the incident, they immediately left the scene and were not detained. About it reports the Armenian edition of HRAPARAK. The Armenian media reports that during the hearings in the UN Council, which took place on Thursday, September 21, the Russian representative called the capital of Karabakh "Hankendi" in his speech. This name is used by Azerbaijan. Armenians call the city Stepanakert.

In Armenia, it was regarded as a fact of recognition of Azerbaijan's territorial claims against Karabakh. At the hearing at the UN Security Council, Armenia and Azerbaijan accused each other of exacerbation of the situation in Karabas. Azerbadjan also stated that Radbez was "biased" on Yerevan's actions. Russia, which has long been a mediator in a conflict around Karabakh and sided with Armenia, actually recognized the sovereignty of Azerbaijan in a controversial territory.
