YEREVAN, DECEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. One of the Azerbaijani self-described environmentalists who has blocked the Lachin Corridor was spotted on camera flashing the Grey Wolves salute while holding an environmental poster with the other hand.

Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) State Minister Ruben Vardanyan’s advisor Artak Beglaryan published the photo showing what he described as an Azerbaijani special operative.

“This photo vividly shows the true motive of the so-called environmentalists who are serving the Aliyev regime in blockading 120,000 people of Artsakh. This Azerbaijani special operative, who has blocked the only road of Artsakh, is holding an environmental poster with one hand and is showing the Grey Wolves salute with the other hand. Azerbaijan wants to subject the people of Artsakh to genocide with the style of the Grey Wolves and the Young Turks,” Beglaryan said in a statement.

A group of Azerbaijanis describing themselves as “environmentalists” blocked the Lachin Corridorsince the morning of December 12.

The Lachin Corridor is the only road connecting Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) with Armenia.

Furthermore, Artsakh authorities evensaidthey are ready for an international monitoring organization to assess and affirm that the mining operations meet all safety requirements.
