An outrageous anti-Azerbaijani provocation was committed today at the opening ceremony of the European Weightlifting Championship in Yerevan.

First, when the flag of Azerbaijan was brought to the stage, the audience hissed it.

Then an unknown spectator ran into the space in front of the stage, where a representative of Azerbaijan was standing with a flag, set it on fire, tore it out of the young woman’s hands and tried to run away. He was stopped by the representatives of the security service, although they acted somewhat sluggishly. The security and the attacker disappeared behind the doors.
