Popular Movement Not Allowed to Hold Rally
Baku / 19.07.19 / Turan: The Executive Power of Baku did not allow the Popular Movement of Azerbaijan (PMA) to hold a march-rally, which was scheduled for July 20.
The action was planned with the demand to speed up the settlement of the Karabakh conflict and the liberation of the occupied territories, the PMA Board member Agasif Shakirolu said.
However, according to him, the city administration decided that it was not necessary to hold the action, because President Ilham Aliyev is making every effort to resolve the conflict on the basis of the norms of international law and the territorial integrity of the country in the domestic and international arena.
In addition, the EP in its report to the organizers indicated that holding a procession may cause obstacles to the free movement of citizens and traffic jams.
Shakiroglu regarded the response of the city authorities as the trampling of the constitutional rights of the citizens.
According to him, the city administration "should not give recommendations, but is obliged to execute the law."
The march under the slogans "Liberation of Karabakh!" and "Free Elections" was planned on July 20 from the Amay shopping center building to the Khatai District Executive Authority, where the rally was supposed to be held.
* The PMA was established on January 26, 2019 on the initiative of the ex-head of the MIA, chairman of this structure, Iskender Hamidov. It includes the Classic Popular Front Party (the leader - Mirmahmud Miralioglu), the National Democratic Party, the Hope party (Igbal Agazadeh), the Democratic Party (Sardar Jalaloglu), the Citizens and Development Party (Ali Aliyev), the White Party (Tural Abbasly), the Great Azerbaijan Party (Elshad Musayev), a number of other small parties, as well as community activists and intellectuals . -03B06-
