Ukrainian Pora Urges US and EU to Put Political Pressure upon Baku
«The US and countries of the EU should not recognize the results of the parliamentary election in Azerbaijan and should put political pressure upon the leadership of that state,» says a statement by Pora Ukrainian organization. «We are sure that each people has a right for support and a stand on principle of the international community,» the Pora statement says.

The members of Pora, a party, which played a key role in the Orange Revolution in Ukraine a year ago, consider that the election in Azerbaijan is gerrymandered. On Tuesday November 29 Pora intends to picket the Azeri Embassy in Kiev demanding «to stop violence and repression against participants of peaceful rallies in Baku.»
