Azerbaijani FM comments on purpose of protest action on Khankandi-Lachin road

He said that the representatives of the state institutions of Azerbaijan were prevented from monitoring the mineral deposits located in the Karabakh economic region: “It was done by the people living there. We understand that this is a provocation. The work towards monitoring started much earlier. Recently, it has become more intense. As these efforts did not yield results, Azerbaijani eco-activists started a protest action. It is their right, and they are exercising their right.”
