Human rights activists in Moscow will hold a rally in front of the Embassy of Azerbaijan
On October 9, at 15:00 a protest will be held before the embassy of Azerbaijan in Moscow, demanding the release of Leyla and Arif Yunus.
The action is organized by a well-known human rights activist, leader of the organization Memorial Svetlana Gannushkina.
In their address to the public, the organizers said:
“On 30 July this year, the Azerbaijani authorities arrested Leyla and, a little later, Arif. Their human right advocacy, the Institute for Peace and Democracy they created, and their public position and unwillingness to bend before the authoritarian regime of Aliyev has repeatedly led to conflicts with the authorities. Now they are accused of allegedly entering into an agreement with representatives of special services of Armenia, recruiting agents for the Armenian intelligence and passing military secrets to the special services of Armenia since 1992. To delusional charges of treason, in the spirit of the Stalinist era, there were added no less absurd criminal charges - fraud, tax evasion, etc. Well, we know how these masters prepare their political brew, adding a criminal seasoning to their liking.
Colleagues! Friends! Leyla and Arif are no longer young and they stand their imprisonment with difficulty. They are sick, and you do know perfectly well what prison in the authoritarian ex-Soviet republic is. We cannot release them ourselves, as we would like to, but we can express our protest to the authorities of Azerbaijan and their diplomatic representatives in Moscow." -02D-

I have always put the names of agencies, institutions, and enterprises in quotation marks, but I never did so for Turan. Whenever I saw Turan in quotation marks in texts, I removed them.

The preliminary report into the late December crash of an Azerbaijani passenger jet in Kazakhstan is a masterwork in delicate diplomacy, breaking no new ground in assigning responsibility for the tragedy, yet appearing to confirm that the plane was accidentally shot down by Russian air defenses without explicitly saying so. As such, the Kazakh-produced report has avoided, at least initially, provoking the ire of either Russia or Azerbaijan.
