BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 30. Activists of the Azerbaijani community in the Netherlands held a peaceful protest in front of the Peace Palace in The Hague, Trend reports.

The protest, organized by the European Association of Azerbaijani Women "Ana Veten" (Motherland) and supported by the Coordinating Council of Azerbaijanis of the Netherlands and Belgium, aims to raise awareness of Armenia's actions, which have been pursuing an occupation policy against Azerbaijan for 30 years. Additionally, Armenia is provocatively acting in the Azerbaijani area of Karabakh and attempting to use the international community as a tool for its manipulations.

During the protest, flags of Azerbaijan and Türkiye were waved, fragments of mughams and songs dedicated to Azerbaijan's Karabakh region were performed. The attention of the Dutch public was attracted by posters with slogans "Azerbaijan wants peace, Armenia wants war", "Armenia rejects peace, chooses war", "Armenia, sign the peace agreement!", "Armenia distorts facts and deceives the world community", "There should be no Armenian soldiers on the lands of Azerbaijan! ", "Armenia, stop the attack!", "Armenia, stop mining our lands!", "Armenia's mines kill civilians!", "Armenia's mines = war crimes!", "Armenia's environmental terror in the territories of Azerbaijan must end!", "Armenia destroys Azerbaijan's cultural heritage in Yerevan" and other slogans.

The participants of the protest demanded from the international community to put an end to Armenia's military and environmental terror in Azerbaijan's Karabakh region, to ensure the safety of Azerbaijani citizens in Karabakh, and to support the peace efforts of the Azerbaijani state. The protest ended under the slogan "Karabakh is Azerbaijan!".

Booklets with information about Armenia's war and environmental crimes were distributed to the residents of Hague who were interested in the action. The booklets stated, in particular, that mine terror by Armenia threatens the lives of Azerbaijani citizens, that the number of mine victims in Azerbaijan after the 2020 war has reached 303, that the refusal of official Yerevan to provide accurate maps of mines is a gross violation of human rights, and provided other information about Armenia's crimes.
