Conditions have been created for the passage of a vehicle
belonging to Russian peacekeepers [temporarily stationed in
Azerbaijan following the trilateral statement signed by
Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian leaders after the 2020 second
Karabakh war] along Lachin-Khankandi road near Shusha, trend reports from the scene.
Earlier, Armenian media spread disinformation that Azerbaijani
activists allegedly blocked the Lachin road and don't let supply
vehicles through.
Representatives of Azerbaijani non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) have been peacefully protesting near Shusha, close to the
Russian peacekeepers' temporary deployment area, for the
seventeenth day. The peaceful protest is being held against the
inadmissibility of Azerbaijani specialists to the territory, to
monitor the illicit exploitation of the country's mineral
resources.
Previously, following the talks with the Russian peacekeepers'
command on December 3 and 7, 2022, a group of experts from the
Azerbaijani 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 but also prevented for the entire process to
carry on.
