April 28, 2003
On the day of 88th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, the Azerbaijanis organized a hooligan action offending the memory of 1,5 million victims of the Ottoman Empire. At the morning session on April 24th the deputy Hamlet Movsisyan, representing the Akhalkalaki region populated with Armenians, urged his colleagues to commemorate the victims of the genocide. In response, 5 Azerbaijani MPs attacked Movsisyan offending him and threatening all the Armenians. The attack resulted in seizing the central microphone, as a result of which the session was cancelled.
