In particular, the movement NIDA announced its decision to take part in the protest rally against the tyranny, ‘the strengthening of the family power,’ and political repression.

The Musavat party’s Board decided to participate in all activities against the strengthening of authoritarianism in Azerbaijan, the head of the apparatus of Musavat, Gulagha Aslanli, told Turan.

The party endorsed slogans and goals of the National Council’s rally and recognized the appropriate participation of members of Musavat in this action, he added.
