The participants of the action traditionally started the day with the performance of the state anthem of Azerbaijan, then performed patriotic songs
In the statements of the Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry, on this subject, attention was focused on the illegal operation of the resources of the Kyzylbulag gold and demirlin copper-molibden mine, access to which is possible only through the Lachinsky road.
In Yerevan, they claim that ongoing protests led to the “Closing of the Road”.
In Azerbaijan, they repeatedly refuted the statements of the Armenian side, stating that the road is open to humanitarian and civil transport. On the Lachin road, both the cars of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the supply of supplies for the Russian military deployed in the region after the Second Karabakh War,
were moved.
Against the backdrop of tension around the Lachinsky road, negotiations on the signing of a peace treaty, including international mediation, were stalled.
Karabakh region and seven adjacent regions of Azerbaijan, including the Lachinsky district, were released from almost 30-year-old Armenian occupation in the fall of 2020 according to the results of 44 day war.
