(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) SHUSHA, Azerbaijan, December 16 . Supply
vehicles of Russian peacekeepers [temporarily stationed in
Azerbaijan in accordance with a trilateral statement signed between
Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian leaders following the 2020 second
Karabakh war] have recently passed freely along the Lachin road,
trend reports
from the scene in Shusha.
These vehicles will deliver humanitarian aid to the Armenian
residents of Azerbaijan's Karabakh.
This is clear evidence that the Azerbaijani peaceful protesters
didn't block the Lachin road, as the Armenian side is trying to
present.
Previously, the Armenian media spread fake news that the
Azerbaijanis allegedly blocked the Lachin road and didn't let the
supply vehicles through.
The peaceful protests of Azerbaijani non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) against the inadmissibility of Azerbaijani
specialists to the territory, to monitor the illegal exploitation
of deposits in the area, have been held near Shusha, close to the
post of peacekeepers.
Previously, following the negotiations with the Russian
peacekeepers' command on December 3 and 7, 2022, a group of experts
from the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, the State
Property Service under the Ministry of Economy, and AzerGold CJSC
on December 10, was going to begin the preliminary monitoring in
accordance with the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits, as
well as the emerging environmental and other consequences of this
on the territory of Azerbaijan.
It was planned to inspect the environmental conditions at the
'Gizilbulagh' gold deposit and the 'Damirli' copper-molybdenum
deposit, monitor various areas, organize cadastral property
records, assess potential risks and threats to the environment, as
well as to underground and surface water sources.
However, despite the group's arrival, accompanied by Russian
peacekeepers, in the monitoring area, it faced provocations. The
planned initial inspection and monitoring did not take place due to
the fact that the Russian peacekeepers not only did not create
necessary conditions but also prevented for the entire process to
carry on.
