(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Sabina Mammadli read more The picketing of Azerbaijani eco-activists on the
Lachin-Khankandi road against the illicit exploitation of
Azerbaijan's natural resources marks the 94th day, Azernews reports.
By the time of writing, 10 vehicles of Russian peacekeepers, as
well as a convoy of 8 vehicles of the International Committee of
the Red Cross (ICRC) moved through the road have faced no hinder.
Meanwhile, Armenian media has been spreading false information that
the Azerbaijanis allegedly 'blocked the Lachin-Khankandi road' and
'do not let cars through', which can be refuted through daily
reports proving otherwise.
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.
