Sabina Mammadli read more As Azerbaijani eco-activists are picketing the Lachin road for
unhindered access to natural resources deposits by experts under
the illegal exploitation of the Armenian separatists in Karabakh,
their compatriots worldwide are not idle, joining their voices with
the protesters in their just demands.
Thus, a group of Georgian activists, representatives of local
public organizations, young people, and students held a peaceful
rally outside the UN Office in Tbilisi.
Declaring their solidarity with protests in Karabakh, the
participants waved Azerbaijani and Georgian flags and chanted 'End
to environmental crime!', 'No to environmental terrorism!', 'End to
illegal exploitation of Azerbaijan's natural resources!', 'End to
plundering of Karabakh!', 'End to illegal activities of Armenian
separatists!' along with other slogans.
One of the participants, Mahabbat Imanova, stressed that the
rally is not political and that it calls for an end to
environmental crimes. She noted that the damage caused by the
Armenian separatists to the ecology of Azerbaijan poses a threat to
the entire region, and asked the UN office to put pressure on the
eco-terrorism and the destructive actions of the Armenian
separatists.
'We, Azerbaijanis living in Georgia, support the protest of
Azerbaijani non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Environmental
protection is the fundamental duty of every citizen. As
Azerbaijanis living in Georgia, we're concerned about the
environmental problems in the area of Russian peacekeepers'
temporary deployment. Against the backdrop of international concern
about climate change and water depletion, the damage caused to the
environment by Armenian criminal oligarchic groups is accompanied
by ethnic hatred,' she added.
She also noted that the picketers request and demand to put
pressure on Russian peacekeepers and Armenian separatists in order
to stop the environmental terrorism. The protest ended with reading
out a statement in Azerbaijani and Georgian outside the UN office.
The relevant statement was handed over to the office.
