Tatoyan: Azeri 'eco-activist' agents intimidated 19 kids returning to Artsakh

The "eco-activist" agents of the Azerbaijani government intimidated 19 Armenian children returning from the town of Goris to Artsakh’s capital Stepanakert on Tuesday, breaking into the car transporting the children with their faces covered and displaying an openly cynical behavior, Armenia’s former Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan said.

“Then, they filmed the children openly unlawfully, and then cynically spread them in the Azerbaijani press and social media with their faces exposed,” he wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.

As a result of the Azerbaijani provocations, one of the children even fainted, he stated.

“Due to the actions taken by Russian peacekeepers, they were removed from the car, the car continued its journey. Then, while passing through the blocked section of the road, Azerbaijani “eco-activists” demonstratively shouted in the direction of the vehicles transporting the children. This fact was verified by Artsakh Human Rights Ombudsman Gegham Stepanyan,” Tatoyan said.

Since December 12, large groups of Azerbaijanis posing as eco-activists have blocked the Lachin corridor, the only road linking Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) to Armenia and the outside world, to protest what they claim is illegal mining operation in the area.
