Muslims stage anti-Israeli protest in Azeri capital
Azerbaijani news agency APA, Baku
20 Oct 06
Members of the Azerbaijani religious community Cuma staged a protest
outside the Israeli embassy in Baku on 20 October to mark Al-Quds
(Jerusalem) Day, APA news agency reported.
“Zionists cannot establish a state in the Muslim land of Quds, just
like Armenians cannot establish a state in Karabakh. To commemorate
Quds is to commemorate Muslimhood,” the agency quoted the community
leader, Haci Ilqar Ibrahimoglu, as saying.
Ibrahimoglu urged all Muslims to unite.
The protesters held a slogan saying “Stop Israel” and chanted “God
is great”. The police did not intervene in the protest but detained
seven people after it ended, the agency said.
