ArmInfo.Activists of the Democracy and Welfare Party held an anti-Russian protest on the territory adjacent to the Russian embassy in Baku, as the police blocked the way to the building of the Russian diplomatic mission.
According to the Turan news agency, the protesters demanded the withdrawal of the Russian peacekeeping contingent from Nagorno-Karabakh.
The protesters raised posters with the inscription: "The occupying Russian army, leave Karabakh!". Holding the flags of Azerbaijan and Ukraine, they chanted: " Occupation troops leave! " and called the war against Ukraine "genocide." In addition, the demonstrators accused "the Russian army of committing the so-called Khojaly tragedy and Bloody January."
Meanwhile, according to the some Azebaijani media, one of the members of the above-mentioned party, Huseyn Malik, was detained after he said, "Putin. When you leave, take Ilham with you."
We also add that the protest action takes place against the backdrop of the visit of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to the Russian Federation to participate in an informal meeting of CIS leaders. It is also worth noting that in Azerbaijan, not a single protest action takes place without the curation of the authorities.
