The Azeri Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Huseyn Baghirov
said on Friday that Armenia's actions hurting the environment in the
occupied Azeri land once again prove the true gist of its hostile
policy against Azerbaijan.
This includes felling of trees and pollution of water basins and rivers
going through the occupied territories. The ongoing preparation of
documents in several languages concerning the issue will be completed
soon. The data will be made public both in and outside the country,
the minister told a news conference Friday. The trees are felled in
the preserve located in the Zangilan district as well as in other
Armenia-occupied territories, for their further exports to Italy,
France, Greece and Iran.
The timber is used for various purposes, including furniture production
and shipbuilding. A prompt response center is operating under the Azeri
ecology ministry to track down the dire impact on the environment and
natural resources in the occupied areas. It has prepared two reports
and a plan of action to address the problem. The center has plenty
of materials at its disposal proving Armenia's destructive influence
on these territories.
