    Opposition pickets US embassy


    Some 50 members of the Whole Azerbaijan Popular Front Party (WAPFP)
    held an unsanctioned picket outside the US embassy in Baku on Tuesday
    in protest against the Armenian parliament members' planned
    participation in the 58th `Rose Roth' seminar of the NATO
    parliamentary Assembly due in Baku.
    Despite interference by the police, the protesters showed placards
    `Respect the Azerbaijani people', `End to double standards', `Don't
    bring enemies to Azerbaijan!', `Down with Armenian invaders' and
    `Freedom to Garabagh' and forwarded a resolution to the embassy. No
    protesters were detained during the picket.
    WAPFP plans to hold similar actions outside the embassies of other
    NATO member states accredited in Baku. The party will picket the
    Turkish embassy on October 26.
    WAPFP attempted to hold an unsanctioned protest action outside the
    Milli Majlis (parliament) on October 12.*
