Azerbaijani community in Netherlands appeals to international organizations

The Benelux Azerbaijanis Congress in the Kingdom of Netherlands, ‘Ana Vatan’ Association of Azerbaijani Women of the Netherlands and the Azerbaijan Ladies club have appealed the international organizations regarding the attack on the Azerbaijani embassy in Iran.

Report informs, citing Azerbaijan's Diaspora Committee, that the appeal says:

"We, Azerbaijanis living in foreign countries, are deeply saddened by the killing of one Azerbaijani and wounding of two others as a result of the armed attack on the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Iran at about 8:30 am Baku time on January 27. Every Azerbaijani of the world considers what happened to be a terrorist act organized by the Iranian secret services, every Azerbaijani condemns those who committed this treacherous attack and bloody crime and declares that we do not believe the false information spread to divert attention. This bloody incident defies logic and humanity.

"We are extremely concerned about the constant violation of the rights of 40 million of our compatriots residing in South Azerbaijan and the lack of guarantees of inviolability of any diplomatic mission in Iran, or any person there.

"We alert the international community to the situation in the region and call for action to combat the perpetration of crimes against humanity.

"We bring to the attention of the UN, the European Union, the Council of Europe and their agencies, and other competent international and regional organizations the information about this terrorist act that impedes peace and stability in the region, and call for urgent legal and political action to prevent the Iranian secret services from committing such grave criminal acts."
