Pro-government party to picket foreign embassies

The pro-government Modern Musavat Party (MMP) plans to hold pickets
outside the UN office in Baku and the US, French, Russian and German
embassies with regard to the Upper Garabagh conflict settlement.
The party will urge the UN to fulfill its resolutions on liberation
of Azerbaijan’s occupied lands and assist in ensuring the rights of
some one million refugees and internally displaced persons, deputy
chairman of the party Telman Hagverdiyev said.
Hagverdiyev said the party plans to hold massive protests if the
Mayor’s Office of Baku sanctions them. Otherwise, about 50 people
will participate in each picket, he noted.*
