    Telman Zeynalov The rivers flowing to Azerbaijan from Armenia are
    polluted with toxic wastes of the Armenian industrial and agricultural
    facilities expert said.

    The threat to security in the South Caucasus is posed by Armenian
    Metsamor nuclear power station, the seismic activity in the region,
    existence of Russian tectonic and climatic weapon, according to chief
    of the National Center of Ecological Forecast Telman Zeynalov.

    Speaking at the round table held at the Center of Strategic Studies
    under the Azerbaijani president he said if the humankind is facing
    the global challenges, the South Caucasus risks to become a victim
    of the indicated regional threats.

    'The rivers flowing to Azerbaijan from Armenia are polluted with toxic
    wastes of the Armenian industrial and agricultural facilities. Despite
    numerous appeals of the Azerbaijani side, Armenians continue polluting
    Araz and its flows, therefore, our country was obliged to install
    mobile cleaning facilities in the settlements along the Kur river',
    he said.

    Zeynalov said the Metsamor nuclear power station which uses morally
    and technically outdated Russian equipment is the main ecological
    threat to regional security. He drew attention to the still unsettled
    implications of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

    'The South Caucasus region may fall victim of the same man-caused
    and humanitarian disaster', he said.

    Director of the Center of Strategic Research Elkhan Nuriyev, general
    secretary of International Alert Dan Smith, political scientists
    Fikret Sadikhov, Vafa Guluzade and others spoke at the round table on
    'South Caucasus: global trends and challenges'.
