The protest action of Azerbaijani volunteer eco-activists and young people on the Lachin-Khankendi road, demanding the cessation of the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits in Karabakh, and the permission to conduct monitoring in the “Qizilbulaq” and “Demirli” deposits, continues with enthusiasm even at night. 87 days of legitimate protests show that no outside pressure can stop the action!
IS Referring to AZERTAC, it is reported that despite the cold weather, the action participants are currently active on the Lachin-Khankendi road. They chant slogans in Azerbaijani, English and Russian languages about stopping environmental terrorism. The participants of the action declare that they will continue their protest until their demands are met.
It should be noted that the participants of the action do not obstruct the movement of vehicles used for humanitarian purposes. The news published in the Armenian press about the protestors allegedly blocking the Khankendi-Lachin road and not letting the security vehicles go is another disinformation from the other side.
It should be recalled that as a result of discussions held with the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent on December 3 and 7 of last year, a team consisting of experts from the Ministries of Economy, Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan, the State Service for Real Estate Affairs under the Ministry of Economy, and “AzerGold” Closed Joint Stock Company joined the Russian peacekeeping mission. should have conducted initial monitoring of the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits in the territories of Azerbaijan where the contingent was temporarily stationed, as well as the resulting environmental and other consequences. However, due to the inactivity of the peacekeepers, the monitoring did not take place. As a protest against this, Azerbaijani eco-activists started a peaceful action on the Lachin-Khankendi road passing through the Shusha territory from December 12.
