(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Sabina Mammadli read more For 45 days back-to-back, the Azerbaijani eco-activists and
representatives of NGOs have been picketing the Lachin-Khankandi
road against the illicit exploitation of Azerbaijan's natural
resources, Azernews reports.
In sharp contrast to the remarks by Karabakh separatists about
the“humanitarian crisis” or the road“blockade, vehicles
constantly pass through unhindered. A total of 50 vehicles,
including convoys of supply vehicles of the Russian peacekeepers
and passenger cars, drove along the Lachin-Khankandi road
today.
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 have taken 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.
