The Jewish community of Azerbaijan is calling for more American Jewish organizations to condemn the alleged hate crimes committed at a recent Armenian-organized protest outside the Azerbaijan Consulate General in Los Angeles.
On July 21, some of the 3,000 Armenian protesters in the Brentwood neighborhood attacked a group of some two dozen Azeris, causing injuries that required urgent medical care.
The protest followed last month's attack by Armenia across the border with Azerbaijan, which killed 12 people and threatened Azerbaijan's pipeline infrastructure, a vital source for Europe's energy security.
