“We condemn burning of the national flag of #Azerbaijan at the opening ceremony of the European #Weightlifting Championship in #Armenia. It is worrying that no security measures were taken by organisers against such hate action. Perpetrators should be accordingly punished!” Aykhan Hajizade, the spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, wrote on his Twitter page
The Azerbaijani weightlifters Nazila Ismayilova, Isa Rustamov, Omar Javadov and Ali Shukyurlyu are representing the country in the European Championship held in Yerevan.
