Baku / 01.09.18 / Turan: A group of IDPs made an attempt on September 1 to conduct the action "Return to Our Homeland" on the Barda-Agdam highway.
Thus, they wanted to protest against the authorities' inability to liberate the occupied territories.
Jalal Ahmedov, an internally displaced person from the Garvand village of the Agdam district, made an appeal to conduct the action "Return to Our Homeland" in social networks.
The 66-year-old Ahmedov wrote that he is seriously ill and has lived with nostalgia for his native places for 30 years. He said that he himself intends to return to his homeland and urges users to join him. On September 1, several dozen people gathered at the intersection of four roads on the Barda-Agdam highway. Among them were active participants in the national-democratic movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s - Panah Huseyn, Nemat Panahli, Rahim Gaziyev, and the leader of the Karabakh Liberation Organization Akif Naghi.
However, the reinforced post-patrol police concentrated in the area and impeded the action, detaining the participants who were taken to the police stations of the Barda, Terter and Agdam districts.
One of the participants of the action, IDP from Lachin told Turan the IDPs had gathered peacefully, without violating the laws and ready to return to their native places even at the cost of death. According to him, according to international humanitarian law, the military of Armenia and Azerbaijan should provide a safe corridor for people returning to their native places. "We want to live in houses where we were born," he said.
Around 11:30 Panah Huseyn and Akif Naghi were released from the police after they had been interrogated. Later, a number of other participants of the action were released. At the same time, some of them still remain in the police. -06D-
