"Musavat": Authorities show disrespect to the memory of Mamed Emin Rasulzade

"Musavat" party made a statement regarding the refusal of the City Hall to provide space for 500 people  in Baku for celebrating 130-year anniversary of Mamed Rasulzade, the founder of the People's Republic of Azerbaijan (PRA.) The statement authors note that on January  16 they sent to the capital's mayor appeal in this regard, saying that the event is scheduled for January 30. 

An answer from the  mayor came  on  January 28 , advising the party to hold your event in one of the houses of culture in  the village of Garachukhur or Amirajan located on the outskirts of Baku.

At a meeting of the party representatives with leadership of the House of Culture in  the village of  Amiradjan they were informed  that the consent to the head of the department of tourism  for  activities in Baku is necessary. During the day it was impossible to  contact the relevant department head of the executive power of Baku, Zaur Ramazonov. Only 29 January at 12:30 it was possible to positively address this issue. Then it turned out that the heating system in the House of Culture  in the village of Amiradjan  is out of order. 

The foregoing demonstrates that the order of the head of state on the celebration of 130th anniversary of Mamed Rasulzade had declarative nature. The authorities are not going to mark the event dedicated to this date, but also obstruct those who intend to do it.

The International Press Centre also refused to provide the party room for the anniversary event. This is a kind of manifestation of disrespect for Rasulzade. "Musavat" party condemns and considers unacceptable disrespect for memory and anniversary date of Mamed Rasulzade. Solemn commemorative event will be held by "Musavat" party on January 30 at 15.00 at the headquarters of the party "Musavat". -06D –
