Minister said that the Iranian side has not officially applied to Azerbaijan on this issue. Iran and Azerbaijan has an agreement on use of Araz River’s water. Many issues were concretely reflected in the agreement. The two countries coordinated how much water they can take for agriculture and other purposes. Definite quantity of water must be maintained in the river for the protection of ecological balance. The Azerbaijani side gets information about the use of Araz River’s water for the prevention of Urmia Lake’s drying up only from the press. If Iran has such intention, it must coordinate it with Azerbaijan.

Minister also noted for the example that the Armenians changed the course of Tovuz River for their purposes, and of course, they would see its ecological consequences.
