Armenia’s widespread deforestation, unsustainable logging, and pollution through significant environmentally irresponsible and illegal construction and mining activities in forest regions – including in what had been protected nature reserves prior to Armenia’s illegal occupation in 1991 – has put more than 500 wildlife species at risk in Azerbaijan, this was voiced at the first formal proceedings in Azerbaijan’s claim within inter-state arbitration under the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats at the Peace Palace at the Hague, APA reports.
It was also stated that until today, Armenia continues to harm biodiversity and living nature in our territories by polluting the transboundary rivers flowing from its territory to the territory of Azerbaijan.
