Azeri opposition sets date for new protest
BAKU – Azerbaijan’s opposition plans to hold its next antigovernment rally in Baku on June 19.
The Public Chamber, an umbrella opposition group, decided on Friday to apply to the mayor’s office of Baku for permission to protest at a park in front of the Narimanov subway station.
