Sabina Mammadli read more Canadian journalist Dave Gordon and Georgian blogger Tamuna
(Tako) Mumladze traveled to Karabakh - the scene of the open-ended
peaceful protests of Azerbaijani eco-activists on the
Lachin-Khankandi road under Shusha, Azernews reports.
During the trip, the media representatives were briefed about
the reasons for the open-ended protest of the Azerbaijani
eco-activists on the Lachin road.
To recap, the ongoing picketing on the Lachin-Khankandi road
against the illicit exploitation of Azerbaijan's mineral resources
in the area of Russian peacekeepers' temporary deployment has been
going on for over a month.
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 Company 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.
After the Russian peacekeepers' failure to provide the necessary
conditions for the Azerbaijani agency representatives to carry out
their duties in the area, a group of eco-activists, NGOs, and
public representatives to the street in protest at the
peacekeepers' repugnance to live up to their obligations in line
with the November 10, 2020, peace deal to maintain peace and order
in the region, and oust the Armenian troops from the region and
prevent illegalities. However, time proved that the Russian
peacekeepers are driven by the interests of Russia rather than the
idea coming from the essence of the notion of peacekeeping as
universally understood.
