Fuad Muxtar-Aqbabali read more With three days to go to the 100th day of the civil
protest on the Khankandi-Lachin road, the Azerbaijani eco-activists
have been applying an internationally preferred soft approach to
the prevention of illegalities of the Armenian separatists in
Karabakh.
The civil protesters have so far succeeded in what they have
been after by thwarting plans of the breakaway region and their
international patrons in concert with Armenia to freely use the
main Karabakh road for military supplies to the region under the
temporary control of the Russian peacekeepers with the aim of
retaining the region on a constant powderkeg.
Birth of a civil protest movement
The civil protest, to a certain degree, resembles the activities
of Greenpeace, an independent global campaigning network aiming at
ensuring the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its
diversity.
Armed with identical ideas, the campaign of the Azerbaijani
environmentalists is pursuing a clear-cut strategy to reach their
objectives and targets, that is, to end the rampant and
unsanctioned exploitation of Karabakh's natural resources, monitor
the mining areas, assess the negative impact of illicit mining
activities on the ecological situation and virgin land with unique
regional forests.
Azerbaijan has almost done away with the aggressive military
separatism in Karabakh and is gradually overcoming other forms of
schism though the process is progressing slowly by dint of
international support for Armenian separatism overtly and covertly.
Since Azerbaijan's military win in 2020, various pro-Armenian
international and European organizations driven by aggressive
Christian solidarity have been adding fuel to fire, instigating
Yerevan to uncompromising policies thus torpedoing Baku's all-out
efforts to hammer a peace deal.
In Karabakh, the separatists are deeply aware of the fact that
their days are numbered in the separatist region and therefore are
driven by the desire to pilfer as much as they can. Since December
12, 2022, the Azerbaijani eco-activists have focused on preventing
the transportation of illegal cargo and have been campaigning on
issues that enjoy international support.
However, as always the world has remained indifferent to
unfolding developments and sided with forces that are against the
superiority of laws and want to drag the region into chaos and
anarchy as plotted and wished by states like France, Netherlands,
and organizations, such s as the European Parliament with
deep-seated Christian roots in favor of religious co-brothers.
The dawn of March 18 saw the daybreak with the same demands and
determination of the eco-activists on the scene. The environmental
vigil is standing firm with national support behind and aware of
the aims of Armenia and its patrons to keep the holy mess in the
region and reduce to nil the sacred win of the Azerbaijani army in
the 44-day second Karabakh war.
Nearing the 100th day of the
vigil
The vigil on the Karabakh road is not about obstructing the
passage of transport means and has never been so within 97 days.
Everything is about securing the use of the road for intended
purposes that is for communications of Karabakh residents with
Armenia and vice versa.
However, observations and aggressive behavior of Armenians
before December 12, 2022, showed that the separatists were carrying
weapons and manpower to Karabakh under the control of the Russian
peacekeeping contingent in an effort to counteract Azerbaijan at
the right time, which should never be given to the separatists to
drag the region into mayhem.
As already mentioned, the protest action on the Khankandi-Lachin
road against the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits in the
Karabakh economic region of Azerbaijan has been going on for 97
days. The eco-activists are very active in the first days of the
picketing of the road. They invariably demand an end to ecological
terror in the Azerbaijani territories. The participants in the
action demonstrate firm will and perseverance.
Volunteers and representatives of NGOs start the day with
'Azerbaijan is the owner of its mineral resources!', 'End
environmental crimes!', 'Stop eco-terror!', 'Protect nature!', 'No
to ecocide! Yes to monitoring' slogans and for nearly 100 days let
enemies of Azerbaijan's sovereignty, and finally, come to terms
with the reality on the scene.
