Young Azerbaijan oppositionists participate in rallies in Kiev

"Leaders of Azerbaijan opposition youth organizations have been staying in Kiev for a few days already. They take active part in all mass actions of the Ukraine opposition," a source in Azerbaijan law enforcement agencies said to the Caucasian Knot correspondent. "We've already received signals from Ukraine special services that Azerbaijan citizens take active part in opposition rallies and engage in illegal activities. In particular, they participate in blocking administrative buildings and campaign for a certain candidate, which is not allowed to foreign citizens by the Ukraine legislation," the source pointed out.

Meanwhile, members of the opposition Musavat party hold there is nothing illegal in the fact that several young people from Azerbaijan decided to support the Ukrainians in their struggle for "freedom and democracy".
