The National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDF) plans to hold another election rally in Baku in support of presidential candidate Jamil Gasanli.
The rally committee sent a notice to the municipality of their intention to hold a meeting on October 6. However, the mayor's office proposed to transfer the action to 5 October.
As Gozel Bayramly, a member of Gasanli’s electoral headquarters told Turan, the rally committee discusses the response of City Hall and is likely to accept it.
The address of the organizers of the rally to the citizens through the social network facebook.com says:
"At the meeting are invited all those, who want change in Azerbaijan, those who want to say "Enough!" to corruption , non-combat losses of the army, the occupation of Karabakh, authoritarianism and lawlessness, the illegal demolition of housing and the general injustice in the country." - 16D06-
