MOSCOW. April 24 (Interfax) - Moscow police have blocked a motorcade of 15-20 jeeps flying Armenian flags in the city center on Thursday afternoon, a police source told Interfax.
"The vehicles were moving by the Garden Ring, from Mayakovsky Square to Smolenskaya Square. The police blocked them. They had no permission to hold the action, so the drivers were requested to take away the flags," he said.
The motorcade headed for 7th Rostovsky Side-Street, where the Turkish embassy is located. It was stopped near Borodinsky Bridge.
He said the action was held in protest against the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915.
