Azerbaijani villagers of Damya Gorarkhy village of Marneuli region staged a protest action again.

As APA reports, the villagers protested land distribution in the village. Thus, they could not get lands as a result of it.

No official from the capital, the province or from Marneuli region has visited the place though the protest has been lasting for several days. The protesters had to block the Marneuli-Sadakhli main highway.

The local resident of Damya Gorarkhy village Saheddin Shamilov told that the region police demanded unblocking the highway, but about 300-400 protesters did not obey.

Saheddin Shamilov says nearly 500 families are demanding lands for cultivation from the region authority. The protest action is on at present.
