    Baku, April 7, AssA-Irada
    The Azeri Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Huseyn Baghirov
    said on Friday that Armenia's actions hurting the environment
    in the occupied Azeri land once again prove the true gist of its
    hostile policy against Azerbaijan. This includes felling of trees
    and pollution of water basins in borderline areas and rivers going
    through the occupied territories.

    The ongoing preparation of documents in several languages concerning
    the issue will be completed soon. The data will be made public both
    in and outside the country, the minister told a news conference Friday.

    The trees are felled in the preserve located in the Zangilan district
    as well as in other Armenia-occupied territories, for their further
    exports to Italy, France, Greece and Iran. The timber is used for
    various purposes, including furniture production and shipbuilding.

    A prompt response center is operating under the Azeri ecology ministry
    to track down the dire impact on the environment and natural resources
    in the occupied areas. It has prepared two reports and a plan of
    action in this respect. The center has plenty of materials at its
    disposal proving Armenia's destructive influence on these territories.
