    Azeris picket Armenian embassy in Moscow

    [Presenter Leyla Hasanova] Representatives of the Azerbaijani diaspora
    living in the Russian capital today picketed the Armenian embassy in
    Russia. The pickets demanded an end to Armenia's aggressive policy and
    the urgent withdrawal of its armed groups from the occupied
    Azerbaijani territories. ANS Moscow bureau correspondent Vuqar Sukurov
    has the details.

    [Sukurov on the phone] Armenia has to pull out of Azerbaijan's
    occupied lands and end its aggressive policy against Azerbaijan. These
    demands were voiced during a protest action outside the Armenian
    embassy in Moscow today. This action was organized by the Movement for
    Azerbaijan. Nearly 40 Azerbaijani intellectuals and businessmen living
    in Russia took part in it. Addressing the pickets, the chairman of the
    Movement for Azerbaijan, Ilqar Qasimov, read out a letter to Armenian
    President Robert Kocharyan. The letter demands the fulfilment of UN
    Security Council resolutions No 822, 850, 874 and 884, unconditional
    withdrawal from the occupied territories, the recognition of
    Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and the payment of financial
    compensation for damage inflicted on Azerbaijan. The text of the
    letter was submitted to the Armenian embassy. No confrontation was
    registered during the hourlong action.
