The situation on the Shusha-Khankandi road, where environmental activists are holding a protest rally against the illegal and environmentally destructive exploitation of gold and copper deposits in Azerbaijan’s territories, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily stationed, causes concern of the Russian side, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said at a weekly briefing.
"We are concerned about the situation on the Lachin-Shusha road, caused by disagreements between the parties on the development of ore deposits,” she said.
Zakharova expressed hope for a settlement of the situation in the near future. "The Russian Defense Ministry and the Russian peacekeeping contingent have been actively working all these days to de-escalate the situation. We are counting on the restoration of full-fledged transport links in the very near future,” she said.
She also noted that the Russian peacekeeping contingent is actively fulfilling its tasks, acting as a guarantor of stability in the region.
