    Azeri pressure group says anti-Armenian protests to continue despite arrests

    ANS TV, Baku
    31 Aug 04

    [Presenter Leyla Hasanova] The Supreme Maclis and the Council of
    Elders of the Karabakh Liberation Organization [KLO] held a joint
    sitting today.

    [Correspondent, over video of sitting] The sitting discussed
    the sentencing of six KLO member to various prison terms [for
    anti-Armenian protests in Baku], future activities of the KLO, the
    chairman of which is in jail, and Armenian officers' expected visit
    to Baku [for NATO exercises]. The KLO deputy chairman, Samil Mehdi,
    will lead the organization because the KLO chairman, Akif Nagi,
    received five years in prison.

    The Supreme Maclis and the Council of Elders adopted a joint statement
    as well. It reads that the sentencing of the KLO members is aimed at
    breaking the will of people and public resistance as well as making the
    KLO inactive. The KLO demands that its jailed members be released. The
    KLO also declares that it will never agree to the Armenian officers'
    presence at NATO's September event and will hold protest actions.
