PanARMENIAN.Net - In the morning of October 26, the Armenian delegation, which arrived at the area of the 17th digital media exhibition in Tehran, found out that the exhibition organizers have changed the Armenian pavilion’s location, possibly, to protect Armenian journalists. Armenia is represented at the exhibition by PanARMENIAN.Net agency and Azg paper.

Besides, a photograph of Artsakh’s symbol - We and Our Mountains memorial – has been removed from the stand. However, the pavilion representatives show the photograph to visitors. According to the PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the exhibition organizers promised to stick the photo, which has no any relation to “conflict territories,” on the stand. The Armenian side is waiting for the organizers’ decision.

We would like to recall that on October 25 the Armenian pavilion featured a photograph of Artsakh’s symbol - We and Our Mountains memorial - what aroused indignation of the Azerbaijani delegation. First they demanded that the image of the monument should be removed but then, without waiting for any decision by the exhibition management, one of Azerbaijanis burst into the pavilion and tore away it. It’s also worth mentioning that the Azerbaijanis called the Turkish delegation to protect their interests.

According to our reporter, punishment is not envisaged for the Azerbaijani side’s action. However, representatives of the Armenian pavilion are going to meet with the Armenian Ambassador to Iran and achieve official apologies of Azerbaijan through him. According to our agency reporter, Azerbaijanis send their “spies” to the Armenian pavilion to see that the photograph of We and Our Mountains memorial is not stuck to the stand.
