On Wednesday, a group of members of the public organization People's Movement held a protest in front of the Russian Embassy in Baku, Turan news agency reports. The action was timed to the next anniversary of the Sovietization of Azerbaijan in 1920 by the 11th Red Army.
Participants raised a poster: "We demand the withdrawal of Russian troops from Azerbaijan."
