Sabina Mammadli read more The peaceful protest of Azerbaijani eco-activists and youth
against Armenia's illicit mineral resource exploitation on the
Lachin-Khankandi road continues for the 106th day, Azernews reports.
Medical vehicles and trucks of Russian peacekeepers have driven
along the road from Lachin in the direction of Khankandi without
any problems. Besides, one car and two trucks of the peacekeepers
have driven from Khankandi in the direction of Lachin.
Recall that following the talks with the Russian peacekeepers'
command on December 3 and 7, 2022, a group of experts from the
Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, the State Property
Service under the Ministry of Economy, and AzerGold CJSC were going
to begin preliminary monitoring of the illicit mineral resource
exploitation, as well as emerging environmental implications on
Azerbaijani lands, where the Russian peacekeepers are temporarily
deployed, on December 10, 2022.
The expert team was expected to inspect the environmental
condition at the Gizilbulagh gold deposit and the Damirli
copper-molybdenum deposit, monitor various areas, organize
cadastral property records, assess potential risks and threats to
the environment, as well as to underground and surface water
sources.
However, the expert group, accompanied by Russian peacekeepers,
faced provocations when arriving in the monitoring area. The
planned initial inspection and monitoring did not take place due to
the fact that the Russian peacekeepers not only did not create
necessary conditions but also prevented the entire process from
carrying on.
