“Any activity carried out on the territory of Armenia affects the territory and natural environment of neighboring countries and the health of the population,” said the representative of "Experts in the Field of Water Use" Public Union and Chairman of the Public Council under the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan, Amin Mammadov at the "Report on space monitoring of extractive mines in the Republic of Armenia" event, APA reports.
He asserted that for this reason, the countries should join a number of conventions.
Armenia should submit appropriate environmental reports on the exploitation of fields in accordance with its obligations under the conventions to which it has joined: "Unfortunately, our investigations as members of the coalition show that they do not observe transparency when carrying out these activities. As a country located in this region, we could not be indifferent to it.
Even some fields have been exploited for the past decades. Space studies show that the area of those fields has expanded a lot, and the color of the soil shows that environmental regulations have not been followed.
