Baku/12/17/12/Turan: The blockade of the Lachin road near Shusha has been going on for the sixth day.
More than a hundred civil society activists are standing on this highway. At the same time, the transport of Russian peacekeepers with their cargoes is allowed to pass unhindered.
Negotiations with the peacekeepers on the admission of representatives of Baku to the mines illegally developed by the Armenian separatists have yielded no results.
In turn, official Baku has made no new statements indicating any changes in its position. The demand for the separatists to recognize the laws of Azerbaijan and allow access to gold, copper and molybdenum mines in the former Mardakert region remains in force. The Armenian side does not demonstrate readiness to fulfill these requirements.
Participants of the action are guarded by the Special Forces of the Foreign Intelligence Service - Yarasa.
The road remains closed. -02B-
