Russian peacekeepers are bringing generators to Lachin road, where eco-activists and NGO representatives are protesting against the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits, especially the Kizibulag gold and Demirli copper-molybdenum deposits in the areas under the temporary control of Russian peacekeepers, APA’s correspondent assigned to Shusha reports.
A little earlier Russian peacekeepers blocking the protestors installed modular barracks.
Following this generators were brought.
Moreover, the peacekeepers are installing tents too.
It seems that Russian servicemen, understanding that protests of eco-activists will continue, decided to create a condition for themselves to serve in the area.

Eco-activists and representatives of NGOs continue their protest action on the Lachin road against the illegal exploitation of mineral deposits, especially the Gizilbulag gold and Demirli copper-molybdenum deposits, in the areas under the temporary control of Russian peacekeepers, APA's correspondent reports from Shusha.
The Russian peacekeepers, who stopped the protesters, started to install modular barracks in the area where the action was held.
They unloaded the containers brought to the area yesterday and installed them on the road.
We can come to the conclusion that Andrey Volkov, commander of peacekeepers, does not intend to come to the site and respond to the questions of the protestors.
Note that the protestors demand to suspend illegal looting of mineral deposits and Andrey Volkov, commander of Russian peacekeepers, to come to the site and listen to their demands.
The protest started since yesterday morning. Despite the meeting request of eco-activists and NGO representatives, general Volkov does not come to the site. Servicemen of Russian peacekeepers set up obstacles on the road and built a barrier in front of the action participants. This is why the road is closed.
