Today 300-400 young people held a protest in the center of Baku in connection with the rise in prices as a result of a sharp decline in the rate of the manat.
Participants of the rally chanted: "No price increase", "Robbers", and "Increase pensions and scholarships."
Police blocked the participants and drove them from Fountain Square to the neighboring alleys.
Dozens of people were detained and taken away to police stations. Among those detained were a few pensioners who expressed outrage with rising prices, in spite of the promises of the authorities to prevent it.
"How can you live on a pension of 170 manat, when prices are rising? Where do they look, what do they think?" one of the pensioners said, aiming his anger at police. -0-
