Police and people in civilian clothes began to accompany them and on the opposite side of the square they demanded to stop the action .
The young people began to protest this. One of them. the head of the press service of AED Parviz Azimov was detained. The protesters snatched another protester from the hands of men in civilian clothes. Soon Azimov was also released.
