SHUSHA, Azerbaijan, January 9. The peaceful
rally on Azerbaijan’s Lachin-Khankendi road to stop the illegal
exploitation of Azerbaijan’s natural resources, and to allow their
monitoring, has been going on for the twenty-ninth day, Trend reports from the scene.
Conditions once again were created for the unhindered passage of
20 passenger cars belonging to the Russian peacekeepers along
Azerbaijan’s Lachin-Khankendi road.
Earlier, the Armenian media spread fake news that the
Azerbaijanis allegedly blocked the Lachin-Khankendi road and didn’t
let the supply vehicles through.
Previously, following the talks with the Russian peacekeepers’
command on December 3 and 7, 2022, a group of experts from the
Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, the State Property
Service under the Ministry of Economy, and AzerGold CJSC were going
to begin preliminary monitoring of the illicit mineral resource
exploitation, as well as emerging environmental implications on
Azerbaijani lands, where the Russian peacekeepers are temporarily
deployed, on December 10, 2022.
The expert team was expected to inspect the environmental
condition at the ‘Gizilbulagh’ gold deposit and the ‘Damirli’
copper-molybdenum deposit, monitor various areas, organize
cadastral property records, assess potential risks and threats to
the environment, as well as to underground and surface water
sources.
However, when arriving in the monitoring area, the expert group,
accompanied by Russian peacekeepers, faced provocations. The
planned initial inspection and monitoring did not take place due to
the fact that the Russian peacekeepers not only did not create
necessary conditions but also prevented for the entire process to
carry on.
