Azerbaijani protesters have expressed outrage at mining companies – including a Canadian one – railing against alleged environmental damage.
According to an Associated Press report Dec. 28, Armenian leaders alleged the protests were “orchestrated by the Azerbaijani government,” although activists insist it was a grassroots effort.
“I’m here to support our eco-activists here. We are against the destruction of nature, which the Armenians have done for 30 years. We want to enter the liberated territory, to examine the sites of the mines, what’s going on, and how much they have destroyed nature.” He noted the protest is peaceful, and none of the activists have blocked the road.
