The initiative to hold the protest comes from youth opposition activists, who called for young people to the streets to express solidarity with the requirements of Ismayilli people. Calls for the rally are prevalent in social networks and have been supported by more than 4,500 people.
In turn, the deputy head of the press service of the Interior Ministry Ehsan Zahidov told Turan that any unauthorized action will be stopped. -02B-
