It is the legitimate right of Azerbaijani citizens to protest against illegal economic activities, including the exploitation of natural resources and abuse of the Lachin road, in the territories of Azerbaijan where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is stationed. In this regard, he pointed out that it is necessary to fulfill the rightful demands of the protesters, said Jeyhun Bayramov, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister during a phone coversation with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, APA reports.

He pointed out that it is necessary to fulfill the rightful demands of the protesters.

"Minister Jeyhun Bayramov stated that the claims about the closure of the Lachin road by Azerbaijan, the blockade of Armenian residents living in the territories of Azerbaijan, and the creation of a humanitarian crisis are groundless. In this regard, it was emphasized that dozens of vehicles, cars of the peacekeeping contingent, International Red Cross Committee, and Armenian ambulances pass through Lachin road every day, which refutes the baseless claims of the Armenian side," noted in the statement released by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
