Man immolates himself in Azerbaijan's capital
10.01.2015 13:00
A man has set himself on fire in Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, RFE/RL reported.

The man, who was not identified in media reports, immolated himself on January 8 on  a street where city authorities are demolishing old buildings to make way for new development projects.

Residents have been protesting for months, seeking more compensation for their demolished properties.

The man's motives were not known, and the area was cordoned off by police.

There were at least five self-immolations in Azerbaijan in the last 13 months.
