Despite frosty weather, eco-action on Khankendi-Lachin road continues

The protest demonstration on the road Khankendi-Lachin against the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits in the Karabakh economic region of Azerbaijan has already lasted for 110 days.

Despite the frosty weather, the eco-activists are very active, as in the first days of the rally. They invariably demand to end the ecological terror on the Azerbaijani territories.

According to Report, the protesters demonstrate their firm will and persistence.

The volunteers and environmental activists participating in the action, without interfering with the movement of vehicles in both directions, chant slogans: “Azerbaijan is the owner of its mineral resources!”, “End environmental crimes!”, “Stop ecoterror!”, “Protect nature!”, “ No Ecocide! Yes to monitoring!

Let us remind you that as a result of the talks held on December 3 and 7, 2022 with the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, a delegation consisting of specialists of the Ministries of Economy, Ecology and Natural Resources, the State Service for Property under the Ministry of Economy and the closed joint stock company AzerGold was to conduct preliminary monitoring of the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits on the territory of Azerbaijan, where peacekeepers are temporarily deployed, as well as related environmental and other problems. However, due to the inactivity of the peacekeepers, the monitoring did not take place.

On December 12, 2022, Azerbaijani eco-activists, volunteers and civil society representatives began a peaceful protest action demanding an end to environmental terrorism, to stop the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits.
