The protest action on the Khankandi-Lachin road against the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits in the Karabakh economic region of Azerbaijan has been going on for 71 days. Eco-activists are very active as in the first days of the demonstrations.

The rally, which began on the morning of December 12 last year, continued through the night of February 20. Participants of the action demonstrate firm will and perseverance.

Safety rules are observed, no incidents were recorded during the night.

Eco-activists traditionally started the day with singing the National Anthem of Azerbaijan, followed by songs in the spirit of patriotism.

Volunteers and activists taking part in the demonstrations chant slogans: "Azerbaijan is the owner of its mineral resources!", "End environmental crimes!", "Stop ecoterror!", "Protect nature!", "No to ecocide! Yes to monitoring." They invariably demand an end to ecological terror in the Karabakh economic region of Azerbaijan.

They do not hinder the movement of vehicles on the road.
