Sept 28 2004
Ilgar Gasimov, chairman of the Movement for Azerbaijan held a news
conference on Monday to elaborate on a protest action by Azerbaijanis
held on Teatralny Ploshad square in Moscow on September 25 under the
slogan of "There is not Azerbaijan without Garabagh".
Gasimov noted that during the action, attended by hundreds of
Azerbaijanis from Moscow, Kaluga, Tula and Kostroma provinces of
Russia, protesters condemned Armenia's policy of aggression against
Azerbaijan and stated that Azerbaijan won't have aggressors appropriate
its lands.
The protesters adopted an appeal to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev
and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
The appeal to President Aliyev reads that the Movement will support
the Azerbaijani President's all steps to liberate Garabagh, including
his radical decisions.
In the appeal to Russian President Putin, the Movement condemns the
tragedy committed in Beslan, North Ossetia and urges Russia to take
an unbiased position towards the Garabagh issue.
The Mayor's Office of Baku didn't sanction the rally that the Movement
was scheduled to hold in the capital on September 25.*
