    ISTANBUL. - The Turkish press has published new details on the
    anti-Armenian demonstration, which was held in downtown Istanbul on
    February 26 and under the name of commemorating the Khojaly incidents.

    Members of a Facebook group called Genc Atsızlar had planned on
    organizing provocations during the anti-Armenian protests. They
    planned on attacking the local office of the Kurdish "Peace and
    Democracy Party" (BDP), Agos Armenian bilingual weekly's office, and
    the Consulate of France. But the police were able to prevent these
    provocations and arrest the group's forty-one members, five of whom
    were women. During the demonstration the group members had held signs
    that insulted the Armenians, Radikal daily of Turkey informs.

    The police are attempting to find the group's leader and its financing
    sources.

    It is also noted that the anti-Armenian demonstration was financed
    by the huge Azerbaijani businessman Mubariz Mansimov. In addition,
    Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev had sent ten advisors to
    Turkey, who had organized this protest together with ASIM-DER, the
    Azerbaijan-Turkish nationalist organization functioning in Turkey.

    To note, the Union of Socialist Azerbaijanis of Turkey member Rifat
    Abbaszade had stated that Azerbaijan spent US$ 2 million for the
    anti-Armenian demonstration held in Istanbul and devoted to the
    Khojaly incidents. And the Union of Socialist Azerbaijanis of Turkey
    had released a statement and noted that it is impermissible to make
    the Khojaly events become a tool and to use them with the intention
    of denying the Armenian tragedy in 1915.
