 Peaceful protests of Azerbaijani eco-activists on Lachin–Khankendi continue

The peaceful protest of Azerbaijani ecologists and young volunteers on the Lachin-Khankendi road over the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits, especially the Gizilbulag and Damirli ones located in the Azerbaijani territories, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily deployed, has been going on for the 76th day back-to-back, AzVision.az reports. 

Despite the freezing weather, the protesters continue to chant various slogans in English and Russian calling for an end to ecocide against Azerbaijan, as well as demanding monitoring of Azerbaijan’s mineral deposits in the areas where the Russian peacekeeping contingent has been temporarily deployed.

The unimpeded passage of various types of vehicles, including ambulances and humanitarian convoys, is ensured and the road is open for humanitarian purposes. Yesterday saw the free passage of 40 vehicles that belong to the Russian peacekeepers and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in both directions on the Lachin-Khankendi road.
