Azerbaijanis and Armenians fight in Moscow's streets. Why? - video and photo
25 people were detained in Moscow on July 24 after several pedestrians and drivers were attacked.
Social media users say the attackers are from Azerbaijan, and their targets are the Armenian diaspora, with the supposed reason being the flare up of violence on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
Similar incidents have been reported recently in the United States and other countries.
Fights broke out and one officer was injured on July 21 during a large demonstration staged by an Armenian group near the Azerbaijan Consulate General in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
Member of the Union of Armenians of Russia David Tonoyan said on his Facebook page that the Azerbaijanis had stabbed his friend with a knife.
A video of a group of men attacking a car allegedly belonging to immigrants from Armenia has become widespread on social media.
• Flags, slogans and fruits: what is causing conflict between Armenians and Azerbaijanis abroad?
• Who provoked the escalation on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border and why? Is Russia involved?
The Moscow police insists on the number of 13, and does not comment on the connection of these incidents with the aggravation of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
