    KLO Activists Get Two Months in Jail for Their Anti-Armenian Action


    Baku's Nasimi District court on Thursday sentenced five jailed
    activists of the Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) to two months
    in jail for their unauthorized protest action against Armenian
    participation of a Baku-hosted NATO conference.

    The KLO chairman Akif Naghi, along with four other activists of his
    organization, Mursal Hasanov, Ilkin Qurbanov, Rovshan Fatiyev and
    Manaf Kerimov, were found culpable of resisting police, violating
    public order and hooliganism.

    The KLO members on Tuesday protested Armenian participants of the
    planning conference for NATO's `Cooperative Best Effort-2004'
    exercises, Col. Murad Isakhanyan and Sen. Lt. Aram Hovhanesyan, by
    breaking into a conference hall of Baku's Grand Hotel Europe, where
    the event was taking place.

    As a result, the conference was stopped for several minutes.

    Several windows of the conference hall of the hotel were broken by
    the protestors and there was no report of serious injuries on police
    or KLO activists during the incident.
