    Ethnic Azeris stage demo in Moscow over Armenian aggression

    ANS TV, Baku
    25 Sep 04

    [Presenter Natavan Babayeva] The Azerbaijanis living in Russia have
    staged a rally against Armenia's aggressive policy in the vicinity
    of the Russian State Duma in Moscow.

    [Correspondent, over video of rally] Our compatriots staged
    the authorized rally today at the initiative of the Movement for
    Azerbaijan. The action was staged in protest at Armenia's aggression
    against Azerbaijan. It was staged on Teatralnaya Ploshchad [Theatre
    Square] near the Russian State Duma. Ilqar Qasimov, chairman of
    the Movement for Azerbaijan, said that along with the Azerbaijanis,
    Russians as well as representatives of other nationalities had joined
    their protest against Armenia's aggressive policy. [Passage omitted:
    Russian TV channels filmed the rally]

    [Qasimov, on the telephone] The Azerbaijanis living in other regions
    addressed the rally as well. We adopted two appeals to Russian
    President Vladimir Putin and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. We
    decided to stage a picket outside the Armenian embassy [in Moscow]
    on the occasion of Zangilan's occupation on 28 September. We are
    also going to stage another rally here on Teatralnaya Ploshchad on
    29 September.

    [Passage omitted: security beefed up on the rally venue today]

    [Correspondent] The rally passed off peacefully, Qasimov added.
