The Baku police summoned to " conversation" the organizers of opposition rallies against the amendments to the Constitution. "My summon l to the Police Department of Baku is connected with the upcoming rally of 11 and 18 September," said the leader of the party "Musavat" Arif Hajili.
Similar summons s have long been a tradition, but in this case there are some features: it usually happened after the failure of the City Hall to authorize the rally, but now the police are not even waiting for a formal response of City Hall, said Hajili.
When asked why he linked the summon with a rally on September 11 if it is held by other political organization - the National Council, Hajili explained that "Musavat" expressed support for and participation in this event, too. In turn, representatives of the National Council and the Popular Front Party have not informed about the summon to the police. -05B-
