WAC reports a Surakhani representation meeting and membership-card distribution. Chair Aziz Alekberli says the organization operates in 64 districts of Azerbaijan and has offices in more than 50.

WAC published a historical-monuments article about Yerevan fortress, extending its heritage campaign through another attributed account by its chair.
