According to the information, spread on mass media outlets, radicals of Armenian origin, living in the US, have hung photo of Armenian terrorist Gourgen Yanikian, who killed Turkish diplomats in the state of California in 1973, in front of building of the Consulate of Azerbaijan in Los Angeles during the recent days, noted in the appeal of Commissioner for Human Rights of Azerbaijan (Ombudsman) Sabina Aliyeva, APA reports.

"The Ombudsman noted that this re-affirms that Armenia continues its provocative acts against Azerbaijan also in the foreign countries with provocative and hateful calls that hinder the realization of the ideas of lasting peace and reconciliation between nations and promote confrontation. I strongly condemn the calls for hateful violence against our country on national grounds through Armenian diaspora organizations operating abroad and call Armenia to avoid the provocative acts aimed at re-ignition of the armed conflict in the region, respect to our territorial integrity and sovereignty, and to follow principles of mutually beneficial cooperation, friendly neighborhood and peaceful coexistence".
