"Azerbaijani Jews always stand by Azerbaijan. Every Azerbaijani is against the looting of our homeland and our wealth," said Rabbi Zamir Isayev, the chairman of the Georgian-Jewish community of Baku, and director of the Baku Jewish school, who visited the area to support the protest action held by eco-activists on the Lachin-Khankendi road, APA's correspondent sent to Shusha reports.

He said that his visit to the area aims to support eco-activists: "Vehcilesbelonging to Russian peacekeepers pass unhindered through the road where we are standing now. Civilian Armenian citizens can also cross the road. I declare this to the whole world as a representative of the Jewish community. I am sure that we will achieve our goals. We will be. These resources belong to Azerbaijan, to our people. No one can take them out of the country and exploit them without our permission."

Zamir Isayev noted that reports disseminated by the Armenian media about the closure of the road and the blockade of Khankandi are absurd: "We knew that the road was open, today I witnessed it. The action is held in a very civil manner. Despite the frosty and cold weather, our young people have been standing here for 37 days. They convey the true voice of Azerbaijan to the world."
