Anti-Russian Protest to Be Held in Baku with Authorities' Permission

An anti-Russian protest will be held in Baku on April 12, organized by the "Democracy and Prosperity" party, in front of the Russian Embassy in Azerbaijan, as reported by Turan.

During the gathering, slogans such as "Stop the war in Ukraine," "Stop war crimes," and "Russian soldiers who committed massacres in Bucha and other places in Ukraine cannot be peacekeepers" are expected to be used. There are calls for the Russian army to withdraw from Karabakh.

Infoteka 24 reminds that the organization of mass political actions in Azerbaijan is generally a very interesting issue. Last week, the National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDP) sent a notification about a planned action to the Baku city hall, but it was denied under the pretext of quarantine measures. However, other political forces are quietly conducting anti-Russian activities without facing legal issues.

According to a Telegram channel, all of this suggests that the authorities themselves are controlling anti-Russian processes in the country and organizing such protests.
