27 May 2006 [15:54] - TODAY.AZ
Iranian Azerbaijanis are going to visit Tehran in order to hold a protest action there on the Republic Day.

As Turan Agency reports citing Iranian sources, authorities' attempts to suppress dozens of thousands of people with assistance of police and security forces were not a success. Protestants do not stop to act despite deaths of several dozens of them, arrests of hundreds of demonstrators, and many injured persons. Moreover, protests get into more and more new cities far from Tebriz, which is center of the rallies.

According to current information, additionally to ethnic Azerbaijanis, protest actions unite other Turk Iranian peoples – Kashkayets and Turkmen.
