On 16 October, a protest, initiated by the Karabakh Liberation
Organization (KLO), the Society of Karabakh Invalids (SKI) and the
Organization War Veterans (OWT), was held outside the French Embassy
in Baku. Although the protest was stopped, it was possible to submit
the resolution of the action to the French Embassy, Trend reports.

18 protestors were detained, but later released. Three participants
are still in the Sabail District Police Department No. 39.

The protesters demanded the annulment of the law penalizing denial
of the so-called "Armenian genocide", for the French President and
Parliament to apologize to the Azeri and Turkish citizens, to stop
the activity of the French Embassy in Azerbaijan and to expel Armenia
from the co-chairmanship in OSCE Minsk Group.
