Azerbaijan, Baku, 9 June /corr. Trend E.Babayev / On 17 June Azerbaijani opposition Musavat Party will hold a demonstration in front of building of Baku City Executive Power, the Head of Musavat's Central Executive Apparat, Arif Hajili, said after party's meeting on 9 June.
Musavat party delayed actions scheduled for 4 and 18 May. Baku Administration allowed holding demonstration in the Bibi Heybat settlement instead of the places where the party wanted (Fizuli Square, Tabriz Cinema, Ukrainian Circle, the square in front of former Galaba Cinema, or the area nearby Narimanov subway station).
