France ANC Sues French Parliament Azeri Attacker

Azeri infiltrator attempts to punch ANC France's Hratch Varjabedian

PARIS—The Armenian National Committee of France has filed a lawsuit against the two Azeris who incited a brawl Tuesday at the French National Assembly during an event commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Sumgait Pogroms.

“We have filed two criminal complaints, the first initiated by a young French-Armenian, a victim of assault, the second by the Director of ANC-France, organizer of the event,” said Sevag Torossian, an attorney representing the ANC –France.

A photograph taken at the time of the attack, corroborated by several witnesses shows that the attacker was aiming to punch Hratch Varjabédian, Director of the ANC-France, who asked the Azeri who had infiltrated the event to take their seats and stop chanting hateful and offensive slogans during the observance of a moment of silence in memory of the Sumgait victims.

“The suit has been filed. The Prosecutor should determine the conditions under which these two people, whose names were not on the list of guests sent to the administration by the ANC of France, could have entered the National Assembly,” said a statement by the organization.

“The Prosecutor should also clarify why a diplomatic delegation of Azerbaijan was curiously at the scene moments after the attack, not to mention the presence of Azeri journalists with cameras,” added the statement.

“The diplomatic representation of Armenia, for its part, made all the necessary arrangements with official bodies and strongly condemns this provocative premeditated and orchestrated by the Embassy of Azerbaijan,” concluded the statement.

The event, co-sponsored by French Parliament member Francois Roshebloun and was attended by several parliament members, was organized by the ANC of France to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Azeri pogroms in Sumgait.

Armenia’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement calling the Azeri inciters provocateurs and condemned the incident.

French National Assembly member and author of a bill criminalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide in France, Valerie Boyer, who was present at the event called the incident “provocation and denialist propaganda.”

Azeri President Ilham Alieyv “encouraged the incident at the National Assembly,” said Boyer.

“This latest provocation once again proves that Azeris are not interested in peace or the resolution of the Karabakh conflict. I ask [French President] Francois Hollande to seek diplomatic measures to end all denialist and hateful acts on French soil,” said Boyer.

The Coordinating Council of Armenian Organizations in France (CCAF) said Azerbaijan was trying to export its anti-Armenian racism to the French Republic through inciting such acts.

“The country’s president Ilham Aliyev has repeatedly stated that Armenians around the world are the Azeris’ number one enemy,” explained the CCAF.

    The azeri embassy up to its usual premeditated anti Armenian stunts showed the world once more how racist and intolerant they truly are. What a pathetic and foolish display of azeri hooliganism.

    Please bear in mind that the spelling of the last name of the MP who co-sponsored the act (friend to Armenians for more than 30 years) is Rochebloine and not “Roshebloun.”

    azeris are aggressive and loathsome, they pose a serious threat to armenia and armenians. khojaly massacre is a lie. why do we only see 5 bodies in the azeri video clips from khojaly if 600 were killed? and how can the azeris call one massacre of 600 people a genocide and in the same time denying that hundreds of such massacres of armenians in ottoman turkey are NOT genocide. typical azeri hypocrisy. LIARS! AGGRESSORS!

    This is a savage race. Period. This serves one purpose only: Turkey will never a be able to join the European Union not only because they have no human rights in their own country, rather, they are savage and this attack on such a peaceful occasion is one more example. Further, the attack was acknowledged and seems to have been supported by their “savage” ambassador.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.

    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
    • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
