The protesters on the Khankandi-Lachin road ensured the passage of the family members of one of the Russian peacekeepers, who were moving from Khankandi in the direction of Lachin, Report informs.
The protests of NGO representatives, environmental activists and volunteers against the illegal mining of mineral deposits in the Azerbaijani territory, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily stationed, continue.
This gesture once again shows that the road is open for humanitarian purposes. The protesters declared that they could create similar conditions for the passage of all peaceful Armenians, including the elderly, women and children in need of help.
Unfortunately, the infamous Russian billionaire Ruben Vardanyan does not allow this, prevents them from coming to Khankandi and deliberately spreads false information that the Azerbaijani side is allegedly creating a humanitarian crisis directed against peaceful Armenians.
Demonstrations are being held by Azerbaijani activists and members of environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on a part of the road under the control of Russian peacekeepers in Shusha, demanding an end to ecological terrorism in the Karabakh economic region.
As a result of discussions held with the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent on December 3 and 7, 2022, a team of experts from the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, the State Service for Real Estate Affairs under the Ministry of Economy and AzerGold Closed Joint Stock Company was supposed to conduct preliminary monitoring regarding the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits and the resulting ecological and other consequences in the territories of Azerbaijan, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily stationed. However, due to the inactivity of the peacekeepers, the monitoring did not happen.
