The Muasir Musavat party has held an action of protest in front of the US embassy to Azerbaijan today.
It should be noted that the said action is a protest against the position of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries, which they expressed while voting in the UN General Assembly on the resolution "On situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan".

Party chairman Hafiz Hajiyev told Day.Az that the protest involved about 55 people.

"The party highly assesses the picket as we were able to read the resolution and present it to the US Embassy. At the same time, it should be noted that two party activists were detailed by the police.

These are Faraj Aliyev, deputy chairman of the party, and Sevda Gasimova, representative of the steering committee of the party.

We have already contacted with the district police station and were informed that they will soon be released", Hajiyev said.

The party chairman noted that the next protest will be held in front of the Russian Embassy to Azerbaijan.
