On Monday, residents of the village of Yulgun Agach in the city of Tikantepe held a protest against the destructive activities of non-local miners in the Sardara area of the village.

According to the law, each mining area must be returned to its original state after completion, which was not done by the mine owner.

All legal work and relevant investigations must be carried out to open a new mine, which was not done. According to the law, the mining license of the miner who violated the law should be revoked.

The local government body of the village and the council of claimants representing the villagers complained to the miner for not complying with the norms of the law and asked the country's Mining Organization to stop the miner's activities until the investigation is conducted and the results are announced.

The report adds that as a result of the activities of this mine, the gardens, farmlands, and springs of the SelAparan region near the watershed have dried up.

It should be noted that the historical village of Yulgun Ağac was the center of the Afshar region until the city of Tikantepe was established, and the ruler of the Afshar region, "Suleyman Khan Afshar", lived in this village. This large and old village in Azerbaijan has dozens of historical monuments that have been destroyed due to the negligence of cultural heritage officials.

Due to the destruction caused by the activities of Isfahan miners, 500 families in the village of Yulgun Aghaq, Azerbaijan, have so far been forced to migrate. In July 2021, the West Azerbaijan Radio and Television Agency wrote: “In 1978, this village had 720 households, but now, due to the destruction of the mines, only 220 households remain in the village.”
