Baku, The Gulf Observer: For the 15th straight day, environmental activists, representatives of non-governmental organizations and volunteers from Azerbaijan have been holding peaceful protests on the Lachin-Khankandi road, close to the Russian peacekeepers’ temporary deployment area, according to media reports.
