Arrested pressure group members issue statement

Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
Sept 10 2004

Baku, September 9, AssA-Irada — The arrested Garabagh Liberation
Organization (GLO) members issued a statement on Thursday expressing
acute protest against the planned arrival of Armenian officers’
in Baku.

The statement, signed by GLO chairman Akif Naghi, terms such a visit as
unacceptable, as it would mean ignoring Armenians acts of aggression
against Azerbaijan, and conveying recognition of the self-proclaimed
Upper Garabagh regime to the international community.

Every Azeri citizen today should be involved in preventing Armenia’s
insidious policy and contribute to national unity on this issue,
the statement says.*
