Russia, Moscow/ Trend , corr. R. Aghayev/ A large-scale fight has occurred between Azerbaijani and Armenian youth at the end of today's festive event being held in Moscow-based Russian University of Friendship of People. Even during the arrangement, organized in the Russian University, Armenians provoked young Azerbaijani people to fight several times. After seeing how Armenians danced raising the flag of the un-recognized self-proclaimed separatist regime of Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijani students forewarned their Armenian university mates not to do it.

In addition, Azerbaijani students then forewarned both officers of the corresponding security agencies of the Russian capital and the directorship of the University about the illegitimacy of the actions taken by Armenians, as well as about a provocative nature of their statements and actions. Armenians, for their part, brutally ignoring the requests and calls made by Azerbaijani students and distributing Anti-Azerbaijan literature among students of the University, faced the decisive protest from Azerbaijanis.

One of the Azerbaijanis who took part in the scuffle tore up the flag of the so-called ' Independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic'. Even after Russian policemen and OMON (emergency plat) arrived at the scene of action and fired preventive shots into the air, Azerbaijanis and Armenians carried on fighting between each other.

As Trend has been told, Aghali Alyshev, 22, who was wounded from a fire-arm in the incident, has been operated on at Hospital 64, within the Russian Capitol. Information regarding his condition has yet to be confirmed.
