Sabina Mammadli read more For three months, the Azerbaijani eco-activists have been
persistent in picketing the Lachin-Khankandi road against the
illicit exploitation of Azerbaijan's natural resources, Azernews
reports.
By the time of writing, 20 supply vehicles and four passenger
cars of the Russian peacekeepers moved from Lachin towards
Khankandi, as well as 27 supply vehicles and two passenger cars of
the peacekeepers drove towards Lachin freely unhindered.
From the onset, Azerbaijan has been in a constant fight against
Armenia's disinformation campaign on different platforms.
Addressing the 146th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union,
Azerbaijani Parliament Speaker Sahiba Gafarova once again refuted
claims about the alleged 'blockade' of the Lachin road, noting that
the road is open for the free passage of all civilian and
humanitarian vehicles, as confirmed by the relevant international
organizations operating in this area.
The vigorous vigil dates back to December 12, 2022, and to this
day, the picketers have not altered their motive in compelling the
Russian peacekeepers to provide access to the Qizilbulag and
Damirli deposits in Karabakh for Azerbaijani experts to assess
their current state and possible impact on the region's
environment.
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.
