Azerbaijani President: Armenia is polluting Araz River

President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev addressed the international forum titled “Facing the New World Order” at ADA University, where the head of state highlighted the significance of expert visits to the country and its liberated territories.

“The small steps can start, like exchange of visits of journalists, intellectuals, maybe joint sessions on Transboundary rivers, because this is a serious concern for Azerbaijan, because Armenia is polluting the Araz River,”said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev while speaking at the international forum titled “Facing the New World Order” held at ADA University.

“By the way, the Kura River needs to be addressed more properly on route to Azerbaijan. So all that can have a practical impact. And with these small steps, we can try to reduce mistrust. To build trust it will take years, but at least to reduce it. So we are ready for that,” the head of state mentioned during his address at the international forum.
