Baku/05.03.20/Turan: The executive branch of Baku refused by the public movement of feminists planning to hold a march on March 8 under the slogan: "March 8 - streets are free for us."
The organization notified the city administration that on March 8 at 15:00 it would hold a procession in the center of Baku - on Fountain Square and Nizami Street.
However, the authorities refused, believing that this is a territory of heavy traffic of population, objects of trade and services; therefore, the procession is inappropriate here.
The city authorities proposed to hold an action outside the city in the village of Lokbatan.
“We are being sent to Lokbatan, but we will not go there. Our action does not depend on the Executive Power of Baku and will take place, as we planned,” the statement said. -16D-

It is difficult to predict the future of Azerbaijan-U.S. relations under Donald Trump, said Ali Kerimli, leader of the Azerbaijan Popular Front Party (PFPA), in an interview with Turan agency. "Since Trump's team has not yet been formed, it is unclear who will be appointed Secretary of State, who is responsible for foreign policy. It is also unclear what priorities Trump's team will have for the Caucasus region," Kerimli noted. At the same time, certain assumptions can be made about Trump's policy.
