By empty (9/14/2002 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Between 7,000 and 10,000 people attended an opposition march in Baku on 14 September to protest the falsification of the outcome of the 24 August referendum on constitutional amendments and to demand the resignation of President Heidar Aliev, whom they accused of anticonstitutional acts. Other demands included a reduction in unemployment, the formation of a national government capable of resolving the Karabakh conflict, and the release of persons detained after clashes between police and residents of the village of Nardaran in early June. The Baku city administration gave permission for the demonstration; no clashes with police were reported.Visit also
