AZERIS' MEETING DISPERSED IN IRAN
A group of Azeris consisting of a few tens people intended to hold a
meeting and picket before RA Embassy in Tehran. At the beginning of
the unapproved meeting police requested that the meeting's
participants leave the street; however, the Azeris were incited
aggressively and tried to cast stones at the Armenian Embassy. It
resulted in clashes between police and demonstrators. The picketers
were superseded to a park nearby.
In the park the meeting's participants read out the draft picket's
resolution. As it has been reported, six participants of the picket
were arrested. A case of one of them - Akbar Azad - was submitted to
Iran's Revolutionary Court, others were released on bail.
