Back-to-back, the peaceful protests of Azerbaijani ecologists and young volunteers on the Lachin-Khankendi road over the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits have been going on for the 69th day.

The protests against the exploitation of mineral deposits in the Gizilbulag and Damirli located in the Azerbaijani territories, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily deployed, Azernews reports, citing Azertag.

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 are being ensured and the road is open for humanitarian purposes.
