    Azeri authorities ban party's pickets over Armenian officers' visit

    Baku, 30 July: The Baku mayor's office has refused to authorize a
    series of pickets and protest actions that members of the United
    People's Front of Azerbaijan Party UPFAP were planning to stage in
    early August.

    A press release issued by the party describes the actions of the
    mayor's office as a "gross violation" of the law "On freedom of
    assembly".

    We should remind you that UPFAP activists were going to picket the
    Foreign Ministry on 2 August and the Defence Ministry on 3 August.

    Protest actions were to be staged outside the US, French, German,
    Italian, Greek, Polish and British embassies on 4-13 August.

    The UPFAP was going to express its dissatisfaction with the
    forthcoming visit to Baku by Armenian officers to participate in NATO
    exercises in September.
