(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) SHUSHA, Azerbaijan, December 17. Representatives of Azerbaijan's non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) have been holding peaceful protest rally near Shusha close
to the post of Russian peacekeepers [temporarily stationed in
Azerbaijan following the trilateral statement signed by
Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian leaders after the 2020 second
Karabakh war] for the sixth day straight, trend reports from the scene.
On Saturday representatives of NGOs, eco-activists and
volunteers laid out the inscription 'Stop eco-terror' from
candles.
Then the protesters chanted the slogan 'Stop eco-terror'.
Previously, following the talks 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 were going
to begin preliminary monitoring of the illicit mineral resource
exploitation, as well as emerging environmental implications on
Azerbaijani lands, where the Russian peacekeepers are temporarily
deployed, on December 10, 2022.
The expert team was expected to inspect the environmental
condition 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, when arriving in the monitoring area, the expert group,
accompanied by Russian peacekeepers, 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 and prevented for the entire process to carry
on.
