It is obvious that the incident has historical roots. Since the beginning of the escalations in Karabakh, there have been acts of hooliganism against Azerbaijan's Honorary Consulate, Honorary Consul of Azerbaijan in Kharkov Afgan Salmanov told AzerTag.
Insulting actions were observed during various events in the past. Similar actions have increased especially after the erection of a memorial plaque to those killed in Ganja on the wall of the building of Azerbaijan's Honorary Consulate.
The Honorary Consul said: “However, we could not imagine that Armenians would take up arms in Ukraine. Involving Ukraine in Armenian-Azerbaijani relations is a disgrace and a crime. Such actions are not within hooliganism, since it has other motives. I openly state: It is not easy to frighten us! Azerbaijanis struggle for the matter of justice - liberate their lands and do not bestow hand on others' lands."
