Opposition party to picket French embassy
Baku, August 27, AssA-Irada
The Whole Azerbaijan Popular Front Party (WAPFP) is going to resume
actions in a protest against the participation of Armenian officers
in NATO military training to be held in Baku this September.
The party’s protest actions that started early in August were
suspended later.
A source from the WAPFP has said that a picket will be held outside
the French embassy in Baku on September 3. The party has applied to
the Mayoral Office of Baku to sanction the action.
The police earlier prevented the party’s attempts to picket the
ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense and the US embassy in
Baku.*
