PanARMENIAN.Net - A military parade scheduled for June 26 in Baku
to mark "95th anniversary of Azeri armed forces" may fall through,
Voskanapat.info said.
According to the report, last year, an underground parking garage
was opened under Azadliq Square, current venue for the parade.
At present, urgent reconstruction works are in progress to cover
up land subsidence and cracks which appeared as a result of grave
engineering mistakes.
However, experts say, the cover-up will only hide the cracks rather
than deal with the reason that caused them. As they note, the parade
involving heavy military equipment may prove fatal, with the square
likely to collapse under the weight.
