Opposition picket prevented
Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
Oct 13 2004
On Tuesday some 50 members of the opposition Whole Azerbaijan
Popular Front Party (WAPFP) attempted to picket the Milli Majlis
(parliament) building in protest against the planned participation
of Armenian parliament members in NATO’s “Rose Roth” seminar due in
Baku in November.
After paying tribute to the Cemetery of Martyrs, the protesters
began to march toward the parliament’s building, chanting “Death to
Armenian aggressors” and “Shame on Armenians”. The police prevented
the protesters from approaching the building. During the clash
about 10 picketers were detained and taken to the Sabayil district
police department.*
