On December 12, representatives of non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) of Azerbaijan are holding a protest action
near a post of the Russian peacekeepers outside Shusha, Azernews
reports per Trend.
Azerbaijani activists and members of environmental
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are protesting on a section
of the road controlled by Russian peacekeepers outside Shusha,
calling for an end to environmental terror in the Karabakh economic
region.
The protesters demand that the commander of the Russian
peacekeeping forces, Maj-Gen Andrei Volkov, come to the area. Tents
are being erected in the area by the protesters.
In the meantime, the Russian peacekeepers have dispatched troops
and military equipment to the region.
One of the protesters, who is currently at the center of events,
expressed his opinion regarding what is happening.
'The main purpose of Azerbaijanis protesting near Shusha is to
prevent illegal exploitation of the country's natural resources by
Armenia,' military and political expert, Telman Qasimov, said.
The crowd, according to Qasimov, who is currently in
Shusha among the protesters, is calling for Maj-Gene Andrei Volkov,
the commander of the Russian peacekeeping forces in the region, to
come to the venue.
'We will not leave anywhere until he arrives,' he
said.
To recap, following discussions with the command of the Russian
peacekeeping contingent on December 3 and 7, 2022, Azerbaijani
specialists from the Ministries of Economy, Ecology, and Natural
Resources, the State Service for Property Issues under the Ministry
of Economy, and AzerGold CJSC were to conduct primary monitoring on
illegal exploitation of mineral deposits on Azerbaijani territory.
However, the monitoring failed due to provocation.
