Some 95 RPC and ICRC vehicles move freely along Khankendi-Lachin road

Conditions have once again been created for the movement of 95 cars along the Khankendi-Lachin road.

According to the Report, 81 cars belonging to Russian peacekeepers passed unhindered on February 2.

In addition, conditions have also been created for the passage of seven cars belonging to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

This proves once again that the participants of the protest action against the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits in the Karabakh Economic Region of Azerbaijan do not interfere with the movement of transport used for humanitarian purposes.

The protest action on the Khankendi-Lachin road has been going on for the 54th day.

It should be noted that as a result of negotiations held on December 3 and 7, 2022 with the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, a delegation consisting of specialists from the Ministries of Economy, Ecology and Natural Resources, the State Service for Property Issues under the Ministry of Economy and the Closed Joint Stock Company AzerGold had to conduct preliminary monitoring of illegal exploitation of mineral deposits on the territory of Azerbaijan, where temporarily peacekeepers are deployed, as well as related environmental and other problems. However, due to the inaction of the peacekeepers, monitoring did not take place.

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