At the meeting Special Representative of President in the Shusha district, Aydin Karimov noted that a new situation arose due to the establishment of a border checkpoint on April 23 by the units of the State Border Service (SBS) on the sovereign territory of Azerbaijan, on the border with Armenia, at the beginning of the Lachin-Khankandi road. Therefore, the participants were once again offered to stop the action.

In response to repeated calls from state representatives, the representatives of the eco-activists said that there is a need to conduct general consultations with the participants of the action in order to consider the issue of stopping the action.

After the meeting, the eco-activists returned to the area where the humanitarian action was held to consult on the discussed issues.

After the consultation and discussion of the participants of the action, the decision made by the eco-activists was announced a little earlier, and the statement of the representatives of the non-governmental organizations, eco-activists and young volunteers who were the participants of the action was read.

"Taking into account the repeated requests made by state representatives, we eco-activists and young volunteers decided to temporarily stop the protests on April 28, 2023 from 18:00," it was stressed.
