Azerbaijan`s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs: Armenia's motion regarding the Lachin road protest was rejected
Armenia applied to the International Court of Justice for consideration of three main issues. One of them was related to the peaceful protest conducted by eco-activists and representatives of civil society on the Lachin road on December 12,” said Azerbaijan’s Deputy Foreign Minister Elnur Mammadov at a briefing, regarding the decision of the ICJ on the application of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, held on February 22, 2023.
According to Mammadov, the claim stated that this protest was fake and the participants were allegedly instructed by the Azerbaijani government. Azerbaijan provided the court with an evidence that those actions were actually held by eco-activists, including the names of eco-activists and photo, video evidence. In the ruling announced yesterday, the court rejected Armenia’s motion and assumption that the protest was organized by the government of Azerbaijan, the deputy minister emphasized.
