The police intervened in the zone meeting of the Classic Popular Front of Azerbaijan (CPFPA) in the Guba region, trying to break it. Turan was told by the deputy chairman of the CPFPA Khazar Teyyub.
According to him, the meeting was held in a private home of a senior member of the CPFPA Majlis, local activist Aslan Mejidov.
However, law enforcement officers arrived at the place, headed by the deputy chief of the Guba region police department Arzu Rzayev.
He accused the opposition of "illegal activities" and "illegality" of the meeting.
The police tried to detain Teyyub and another deputy chairman of the party Beybala Abil, a member of the Supreme Majlis Aydin Madatoglu, and an adviser to the head of the party Akif Huseynov.
However, later the police, making a list of the participants (about 30 people) in the meeting, moved some distance from the house and allowed the people to complete the meeting and leave the house.
Teyyub called the police action "illegal and restricting freedom of assembly."
In CPFPA they do not exclude that the meeting participants may be subject to persecution later. -05B-

The United States and the European Union, which tried to position themselves as mediators in the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, have come up with nothing and merely copied Russia's ideas, distorting their essence in order to "hijack" the peace process for themselves. However, their true goal was to take control of the region, to insert themselves into it, and to push out Russia, as well as Iran and Türkiye, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated at a briefing on November 13.
