REAL (Republican Alternative) Congress postponed

Baku / 27.10.17 / Turan: The Republican Alternative (REAL), established for October 29, is postponed for a later time. The reason for this was the refusal of the management of culture and tourism of Baku and a number of private institutions to provide organizers with a venue for the congress. This was announced at today's press conference REAL. Members of the initiative group for holding the constituent congress will again appeal to state bodies with a request to provide premises for holding the congress on November 4, 4, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26 or at the end of the first week of December. REAL is determined to hold a congress before the end of this year, regardless of the response of official structures.

* "REAL" was established in 2009, and opposed the stay of one person as president of the country for more than two terms. The leader of the movement Ilgar Mammadov was arrested on far-fetched charges of organizing riots in the Ismayilli region in January 2013 and sentenced to 7 years in prison.

However, the European Court of Human Rights has found his arrest unlawful and politically motivated and decided to immediately release him. This decision of the Strasbourg Court, taken in May 2014, has not yet been executed. -- 05B06--
