Azadliq's rally not sanctioned

Azerbaijan Popular Front Party deputy chairman Hasan Kerimov told the APA that Baku Mayor's Office did not sanction the rally as the squares are situated in the center of the city, the traffic is high, the squares are near the state bodies and these are places where people rest.

"But our decision is effective. The meeting of the Chairmen Council will be held tomorrow and the decision to hold in one of these squares will be made," he said.

He also said it is possible that the members of the bloc will hold rallies simultaneously in various squares.

Baku Main Police Office deputy chief, major-general Yashar Aliyev told the APA that the representatives of the Azadliq bloc are invited to the office and they will be warned of prevention of unapproved rallies.

"Any illegal action, not sanctioned by Baku Mayor's Office will be prevented," he said.

Azadliq bloc appealed to Baku Mayor's Office for holding rallies at 15.00-17.00 on January 26 in Fuzuli, Narimanov, Ganjlik, Jafar Jabarli squares, Javid, Samad Vurgun, Sahil parks or outside one of the buildings of Economic development Ministry and State Committee for Management of Public Property.
