Chairman of REAL Movement, Ilgar Mammadov, will run for presidency in October elections, said REAL executive secretary Natig Jafarli at today's press conference held in IRFS Media Center. REAL Movement will seek Mammadov's release and then start his pre-election campaign. Erkin Gadirli, head of the REAL Movement Assembly, said that Ilgar Mammadov's and Tofig Yagublu's arrests do not differ from the arrests of oppositionists, as it is part of the same repressive policy. "Peaceful protests are suppressed in a violent manner. But citizens should not get afraid. Therefore Mammadov's and Yagublu's arrest does not intimidate anyone" said Gadirli. REAL will soon announce its election platform. The Movement called on the Council of Europe, OSCE, European Union and European Parliament not to play political games in Azerbaijan and not to turn the election into a subject of political bargaining. Another REAL member Altay Goyushov said he had expected Mammadov's arrest. "But it does not intimidate us. We know what to do in such a situation" said Goyushov. According to expert Zohrab Ismayil, the purpose of arresting Ilgar Mammadov and Tofig Yagublu was to divert the public attention from Ismayilli.
