The flags of Ukraine, Israel and Azerbaijan are burnеа in Yerevan
The leaflets appear amid reports in recent weeks in Ukrainian and Western media, including authoritative publications such as “The New York Times” and the “Daily Telegraph”, about Armenia's exceptional role as a logistical pillar of the Russian-Iranian alliance. As well as for Yerevan's active participation in the illegal re-export of equipment, including for the military industry, to the Russian Federation.
On residential and administrative buildings in the Armenian capital, including on Republic Square in the center of Yerevan, leaflets depicting the burning of Ukrainian, Israeli and Azerbaijani flags have been pasted, the Ukrainian publication Censor.net has warned. The inscriptions above and below the illustration are in Armenian and Persian, and read: "We have common enemies."

On 14 April 2023, Aram Nikolyan from the Armenian Public Television burned an Azerbaijani flag during the opening ceremony of the European Weightlifting Championships in Yerevan, which was attended by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
Pro-Russian forces in Yerevan, and especially the largest opposition parliamentary group led by Armenian politician Robert Kocharian, described by the media as a friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin, actively supported the burning of the Azerbaijani flag, “RBK Ukraine” informed.
The following day, on April 15, the European Weightlifting Federation (EWF) issued a statement condemning the burning of the Azerbaijani flag in Yerevan. The federation described this act as “an extremely serious and deplorable gesture of encroachment on the integrity of sporting values and on the universal principles of Fair Play”.
However, the desecration of foreign flags in Armenia did not end there. On 23 April, during the torchlight procession in Yerevan, the Azerbaijani flag was burned again, along with that of the neighboring Republic of Türkiye.
As Ukrainian media reported earlier, the burning of the Azerbaijani flags was not accidental. These acts take place on the background of the campaign of public desecrations of US state symbols - such for the past five months have been carried out in a number of countries by pro-Iranian organizations supporting the Kremlin's military aggression against Ukraine.
