protest outside US embassy

Participants of the student action held outside the US embassy in Baku have submitted a petition to the embassy official.

The document expresses deep resentment of the recent report of the US Department of State which says 60-65% of students are drug addicts in Azerbaijan.

Students consider this report to be biased and they demand from the State Department to change the text.

The US diplomat who took the petition from the students promised that the embassy will study this appeal.

According to Shain Ismaylov, head of the Organization of Student Youth, told reporters that if the US Department of State does not change the text of the document, the organization will continue struggle with all possible methods.
