Attacker on Azerbaijani Embassy in Paris arrested in France

The Parisian police arrested Loris Toufanian, former chair of the youth branch of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, Dashnaktsutyun, in France, who co-established the dissident group Charjoum in 2015, for the attack on the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Paris. French historian Maxime Gauin posted this information on his Twitter account on Thursday.

Gauin believes that “the arrest is likely due to a violent demonstration against the Azerbaijani embassy’s cultural center.”
