Los Angeles police are investigating after the Turkish Embassy said diplomats were attacked on the day of a conference at USC.
The fall of Nagorno-Karabakh, the separatist region of Azerbaijan populated mainly by ethnic Armenians, has spurred condemnation and anger in Southern California, home to a large population of Armenian Americans. After the long-running conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh escalated in recent years, igniting further protests, Azerbaijan took back the enclave in a lightning blitz last month — leading tensions in L.A. to boil over into violence at one of the latest demonstrations.
'All legal avenues will be pursued against the perpetrators of physical violence directed at our delegation,' the embassy said. Turkish graduate students at USC said the incident 'deeply affected our sense of security and belonging.' 'The growing negative attitude towards those of Turkish origin is a cause for serious concern,' the Turkish Graduate Students Assn. at USC wrote in an Instagram post.

Just weeks before Azerbaijan launched its assault on Sept. 19, Azerbaijani military cargo planes repeatedly flew between a southern Israeli airbase and an airfield near Nagorno-Karabakh, according to flight tracking data and Armenian diplomats, even as Western governments were urging peace talks. The cargo flights to Azerbaijan have rattled Armenian officials in Yerevan, long wary and shined a light on Israel’s national interests in the restive region south of the Caucasus Mountains.
