Baku. Parvin Abbasov â€“ APA. A group of young people held a protest action outside APFP chairman Ali Karimliâ€™s house. APA reports that the action participants said they didnâ€™t represent any political party.

They blamed Karimli for sympathizing Iran, supporting Iranian religious leader and calling him as â€œleader of the south Azerbaijanisâ€.

APFP chairmanâ€™s security manager Karim Shukurov opposed the participants and protested them. Though a confrontation occurred between Shukurov and action participants, it finished without turning into the close fight.

The participants called Karimli to leave the country.

APFP chairman was accused of spying for Iran and â€œbeing an enemyâ€ of Eurovision Song Contest.

â€œTraitor, traitorâ€ â€œShame on Ali Karimli who chose Khamenei as a leader to himself!â€ slogans were chanted in the action.

The posters with â€œAli Karimli+Iranian molla=national betrayalâ€, â€œAli Karimli+molla regime=terrorismâ€, â€œThere is no place for molla regime in Azerbaijanâ€ slogans were raised in the action.

The police arrived at site. The participants didnâ€™t observe the call of the police to leave the site.

An incident occurred when the police started to remove the participants from the site. But then the protesters left the site.
