ArmInfo.Today a group of members of the public  organization People's Movement held a protest action in front of the  Russian Embassy in Baku. The action was timed to coincide with the  next anniversary of the Sovietization of Azerbaijan in 1920 by the XI  Red Army.

According to Turan, the participants raised a poster: "We demand the  withdrawal of Russian troops from Azerbaijan." "We demand the  withdrawal of the Russians from Karabakh, they are not peacekeepers,  let the Turkish military replace them," said one of the protesters.  The police took the posters from the hands of the participants and  pushed them away from the building.

The organizers circulated in the media a resolution of the action,  which says that the People's Movement regards the arrival of the  Russian military as an encroachment on the sovereignty of Azerbaijan.  These military men are not engaged in peacekeeping in Karabakh, but  they do whatever they want. All this contradicts the interests of  Azerbaijan, the resolution says.

The People's Movement was founded in 2019 by the former Minister of  Internal Affairs of the country Iskender Hamidov. A number of  political parties of public organizations are members of this  organization.
