Asif Verdiyev said on February 28, they launched expedition to forecast the flood time in the republic in April, May and June. The expedition will last till March 21. The snow will be measured on 29 routes, including the mountainous areas of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Great Caucasus and Little Caucasus.
