Karabakh’s rivers must be cleaned to ensure access to water
sources before the return of the population, Deputy Minister of
Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan, Vugar Kerimov told
Trend.
According to the minister, in addition to Okhchuchay, a number
of other transboundary rivers are also polluted.
"The issue of pollution of transboundary rivers by Armenia is on
the agenda," Kerimov said.
Kerimov stressed that the goal is to completely stop the
pollution of these rivers.
"At the end of last year, no one responded to our appeal in
connection with the Okhchuchay River. However, with the support of
the diplomatic corps, international organizations, and experts, we
managed to foreground this issue. We succeeded in transferring this
issue to the diplomatic plane. In addition to Okhchuchay, a number
of other transboundary rivers are also polluted," Kerimov said.
According to the deputy minister, the damage from river
pollution has already been calculated, and the relevant structures
have been informed about this.
