Eco-activists and NGO representatives continue their action on the Shusha-Lachyn road in protest against the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits, especially the Gizilbulag gold and Demirli copper-molybdenum deposits in the areas under the temporary control of Russian peacekeepers, APA’s correspondent sent to Shusha reports.

The action participants are chanting slogans against ecological terrorism and illegal exploitation of deposits and are demanding a meeting with the commander of the Russian peacekeepers, Andrey Volkov.

Armenia and pro-Armenian circles are disseminating fake information that Azerbaijan allegedly blocked the road at the place where the action was held.

However, it is out of the question to block the road here, ambulances and civilians can pass freely.

The road was blocked by Russian peacekeepers.

The demands and requests of the Azerbaijani civil society and public representatives gathered here are clear and completely non-political in nature.

The Azerbaijani public is against the illegal cargo transportation through this road and the territories under the temporary control of Russian peacekeepers, the remnants of the Armenian army, which have not yet been expelled from the area, illegal armed groups, those who plunder Azerbaijan’s natural resources together with them, and those engaged in illegal exploitation.

The state and public of Azerbaijan will not turn a blind eye to the arbitrariness happening on its sovereign territory and those who commit such illegal actions.

Those who violate their obligations and create a show out of natural reaction consider that they can avoid responsibility and digress from the subject by spreading various fake information since they are exposed.

The Azerbaijani public has expressed its firm position.

All conditions should be created for the monitoring group of the state institutions of Azerbaijan to work in the area.
