    Demonstrators have protested outside the US embassy in Baku at a US
    House committee decision to recognize the deaths of Armenians in 1915
    as genocide.

    Students and young people held the demonstration at 13.00 local time
    on 8 March for about one hour.

    They chanted slogans urging the United States to conduct an objective
    policy on Azerbaijan and Turkey.

    The demonstrators held Azerbaijani and Turkish flags and photos of
    the victims of the Khojaly massacre. They urged the United States
    to recognize the massacres of Azerbaijanis committed by Armenians
    as genocide.

    The spokesman for the US embassy in Azerbaijan, Terry Davidson,
    came out to listen to the demonstrators.

    The US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee on 4 March
    voted to approve a non-binding resolution recognizing the killing of
    Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 as 'genocide'.
