Baku/16.01.23/Turan: On Monday, January 16, a convoy of trucks of peacekeepers drove along the Lachin road from Khankyandi towards Armenia.
A day earlier, 5 sick Armenians left without hindrance on the same route to Armenia in Red Cross vehicles, Armenian media reported.
The protesters continue to stand on the road in two directions: from the side of Lachin and from the side of Khankyandi. Russian peacekeepers are at a distance of about 100 meters from both sides. These are several soldiers and one armored personnel carrier each.
The action of Azerbaijani civil society activists on the Khankandi-Lachin road has been going on for 36 days. The participants demand that the separatists provide access for Baku representatives to the illegally exploited Gyzylbulag and Demirli gold mines in the former Mardakert region of Karabakh. ---02D---
