New election rally by Jamil Gasanli
Baku/05.10.13/Turan : Another pre-election rally of several thousand opposition members took place on Saturday at the stadium sports complex Mahsul in the Yasamal district of Baku. The participants of the rally , which organizers estimated to be at least 15,000, listened to the presidential candidate of the opposition Jamil Gasanli .
He focused his presentation on the key problems of the country: the Karabakh conflict , corruption, plunder of resources , lack of rights of citizens and the rule of law.
For 20 years, the authorities have not released even 10 meters of the occupied lands and will never release them. This power is dealing with another business - personal enrichment and misappropriation of national resources and placing them in offshore accounts , he said.
During the 10 years of my work in parliament, I was not able to achieve the adoption of the law on oil , for it is not desirable to the authorities. Rather , they are interested in lack of control of their actions .
" We will liberate Karabakh together with all the people of Azerbaijan," said Gasanli . The struggle with the ruling regime does not end with these elections.
He called on the police not to go against their own people and stop to obey illegal orders. "Cease to put innocent people in prison, planting drugs on them," he said .
Addressing the teachers , Gasanli urged them not to take part in the vote fraud , " Many of you are members of election commissions. Do not become complicit in crimes against the state , think about the responsibility. This government did not want to even defend Guler Akhmedova, so what will happen to ordinary performers? They falsify all elections and are engaged in the sale of parliamentary seats and the head of these illegal acts is Ilham Aliyev himself," said Gasanli .
Referring to the faithful , he promised to ensure real freedom of religion and the hijab . " Every person will decide where and what to wear," said Gasanli .
He highlighted the need to ensure the rule of law and the independence of the courts , which are mired in corruption and are part of an evil system.
With regard to the place and role of the opposition and the National Council , Gasanli noted the special role of Rustam Ibragimbekov to consolidate the opposition and the whole society. " Our struggle will not stop at this and we will continue joint fight till the end ," said Gasanli
His emotional speech was interrupted periodically with the slogans "Ilham, go away!" -06B-
