The Azarbaycan Milli Istiqlal Party [AMIP] has issued a statement over
the arrest of activists of the Karabakh Liberation Organization [KLO].
The party assesses the dispersal of protesters as a "crude mistake" of
the authorities, and the arrest of the KLO chairman, Akif Nagi, as an
"insult" to the Azerbaijani statehood.
The AMIP demands that the six arrested members of the KLO be
immediately released and those who took such an "irresponsible"
decision against the protesters be punished.
[The six were sentenced to two months' imprisonment for protest
against the Armenian presence at a NATO meeting in Baku.]
