Armenians living in Isfahan gathered to condemn Israel's recent attacks during a ceremony marking the anniversary of the assault on the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Porphyrius in Gaza City, Azernews reports via Iranian media.

According to the news agency, various Armenian groups in Isfahan attended the event at one of the city’s Armenian churches, expressing their outrage over the recent events in Gaza.
