MP proposes to raise illegal gold tapping issue in international
organizations
The government is not taking urgent steps to prevent development of
gold deposits by an Indian company in the Kalbajar District,
Azerbaijan's region occupied by Armenia, MP Mais Safarli said
addressing the Milli Majlis (parliament) on Friday, Assa Irada
reported.
The evidence on development of gold deposits by the Indian company in
Kalbajar has been confirmed, Safarli said.
`The Indian embassy in Baku was the first to confirm the fact.
However, Azerbaijan's relevant bodies have not taken measures against
it,' he said.
Safarli suggested that Azerbaijan raise the issue at the OSCE and UN,
if necessary.
Elton Mammadov, deputy chairman of the permanent parliamentary
commission on natural resources, energy and ecology, said that the
issue is being investigated and expressed a hope that this will yield
results.
