Peaceful protest of Azerbaijani eco-activists on Lachin–Khankendi road enters 92nd day

The peaceful protest of Azerbaijani ecologists and young volunteers on the Lachin-Khankendi road passing through Shusha over the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits has been going on for 92 days straight, according to Azerbaijan in Focus, reporting AzerTac.

The protest is especially highlighting the exploitation of the Gizilbulag gold and Damirli copper-molybdenum deposits located in the Azerbaijani territories, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily deployed.

Despite the freezing weather, the protestors 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.
