Crisis Center has been created
Violent clashes between security forces and opposition protesters in Azerbaijan left at least three civilians dead and hundreds wounded just one day after the falsified presidential elections of October 15. About 600 hundred people have been arrested since October 15. Many people have disappeared.
Today we have opened the Crisis Center at the office of the Institute of Peace and Democracy. We will work from 10:00 till 20:00.
