(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Sabina Mammadli read more For 38-day back-to-back, the vigorous picketing of the Lachin
road by Azerbaijani youth, eco-activists, and NGO representatives
in protest at the illegal mining of natural resources in areas
under the temporary control of the Russian peacekeepers has been
going on, Azernews reports.
Vehicles constantly pass through the road unhindered in contrast
to the rumors spread by Armenian media about the alleged
blockade.
The failure of the Russian peacekeeping contingent to prevent
the illicit exploitation of natural resources in Karabakh has
resulted in the ongoing protest on the major road that bypasses
Shusha.
As a result of the December 3 and 7, 2022, talks with the
Russian peacekeeping command, a delegation comprising specialists
from the Ministries of Economy, Ecology and Natural Resources, the
State Property Service under the Ministry of Economy, and AzerGold
Company was to conduct a preliminary monitoring of the illegal
exploitation of mineral deposits in Karabakh, where peacekeepers
are temporarily stationed, as well as related environmental and
other problems.
However, due to the inaction of the peacekeepers, the monitoring
did not take place and resulted in the continuous protest of the
Azerbaijani eco-activists, thus paving the way for the birth of a
new movement.
