Serj Tankian calls for joining signature campaign, not allowing Baku to host Euro 2020 quarterfinal match

Serj Tankian considers it inadmissible to hold a Euro 2020 quarterfinal match in the Azerbaijani capital Baku, and he has called on UEFA to move this football game to another venue.

Also, the renowned musician and lead singer of the famous American Armenian rock band System Of a Down has called to join a signature campaign on Change.org, and which is aimed at moving this match from Baku.

"Azerbaijan cannot be allowed to commit war crimes and then host international events like nothing  happened. The stadium where the Euro 2020 Quarterfinals will be held is a short distance from the shamefully racist Victory park [where the helmets of the fallen Armenian soldiers and the racist caricatures of Armenians are displayed]," Tankian wrote on Twitter.

To note, the Euro 2020 quarterfinal match between the Czech Republic and Denmark is slated for Saturday in Baku.
