AZERI MINISTER BLAMES ARMENIANS FOR FLOOD IN WESTERN DISTRICT
ANS TV, Azerbaijan
Oct 4 2005
[Presenter] Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Huseyn Bagirov
has explained why 150 ha of arable land and over 20 houses have been
flooded in the villages of Zangisali and Mahrizli in Agdam District.
Armenians are using the water reservoir in the Armenian-occupied
village of Saricali precisely for this purpose.
[Bagirov] According to information available to us, this is rain
water. I do not believe that it collected naturally because if this was
the case, it would have also collected earlier and these streams would
have existed earlier. The Armenians have fortifications, and the troops
of the occupying army are not far from there. We suppose that this
is an artificial lake and that was the intention, which they achieved.
