[Presenter Natavan Babayeva] The Azerbaijanis living in Russia have
staged a rally against Armenia's aggressive policy in the vicinity
of the Russian State Duma in Moscow.
[Correspondent, over video of rally] Our compatriots staged
the authorized rally today at the initiative of the Movement for
Azerbaijan. The action was staged in protest at Armenia's aggression
against Azerbaijan. It was staged on Teatralnaya Ploshchad [Theatre
Square] near the Russian State Duma. Ilqar Qasimov, chairman of
the Movement for Azerbaijan, said that along with the Azerbaijanis,
Russians as well as representatives of other nationalities had joined
their protest against Armenia's aggressive policy. [Passage omitted:
Russian TV channels filmed the rally]
[Qasimov, on the telephone] The Azerbaijanis living in other regions
addressed the rally as well. We adopted two appeals to Russian
President Vladimir Putin and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. We
decided to stage a picket outside the Armenian embassy [in Moscow]
on the occasion of Zangilan's occupation on 28 September. We are
also going to stage another rally here on Teatralnaya Ploshchad on
29 September.
[Passage omitted: security beefed up on the rally venue today]
[Correspondent] The rally passed off peacefully, Qasimov added.
