Fatima Hasanova read more Azerbaijani diaspora activists in concert with the academic
community in Azerbaijan and the Austrian-Azerbaijani Association of
Culture and Entrepreneurs (AZER-DER) picketed the UN office in
Vienna in protest at the illegal exploitation of Azerbaijan's
mineral resources by Armenians in Karabakh, Azernews reports via
State Committee for Work with Diaspora.
Protesters chanted slogans 'We protest against the plunder of
Azerbaijan's natural resources!', 'End ecocide by Armenia!', 'Stop
ecological terror on the territory of Azerbaijan!' and showed
support for the Azerbaijani volunteers, civil society
representatives, and environmental activists, who are protesting on
the Khankandi-Lachin road.
They stated that Azerbaijanis abroad would not remain silent
about Armenia and Armenian separatists' exploitation of the
country's surface and underground resources. They contend that the
eco-terror committed in the Karabakh economic region ought to
become a global issue.
Locals were informed that Armenians destroyed about 60,000
hectares of forests during the nearly 30-year-long occupation.
It was noted that the international community should support
Azerbaijan's legitimate voice, which is working diligently to
reverse the effects of the war and engage in extensive creative
endeavors and call for the adoption of practical measures to put an
end to environmental terror.
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 the provocation of ethnic
Armenians. The peaceful protest that started on December 12, 2022,
continues up to today and marks Day 30.
