ArmInfo. Hundreds of Lebanese Armenians scuffled with riot police on Thursday outside the Azerbaijan Embassy in northern Beirut during a protest against the Azerbaijani military offensive against Nagorno-Karabakh.
Protesters waved flags of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, and burned posters of Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the demonstration in the Ein Aar suburb of the Lebanese capital.
Lebanese riot police lobbed teargas canisters at the protesters after they hurled firecrackers toward the embassy building.
Hagop Pakradounian, leader of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation in Lebanon, told the Lebanon- based channel MTV that the Armenian community is concerned over the bloodshed in Nagorno-Karabakh.
"We cannot remain indifferent and we demand that the U.S. Security Council intervene to prevent the military operations killing people," he said.
