    Though Azerbaijani delegation raised issue in Council of Europe
    (CE), and its various structures on Armenians' arsons in the occupied
    Azerbaijani territories for several times, the organization did not
    give proper reaction, member of Azerbaijani delegation to PACE Ganira

    Europe (PACE) winter session, APA Europe Bureau reports.

    Azerbaijani MP said that though footages of Armenians' arsons were
    presented, organization did not give strict reaction to it.

    "Thousand hectares area caught fire and was destructed, flora and fauna
    were damaged. These arsons not only damage ecology of Azerbaijan,
    but Europe at the same time.Therefore, many forests are cut in the
    Azerbaijani 20 % occupied lands and sold as raw material to foreign
    countries," she said. Ms. Pashayeva noted that they expect serious
    efforts from Assembly to prevent ecological disasters and stressed
    that PACE member countries should give reaction to such events and
    take any measures. Pashayeva stated that Azerbaijan has got drinking
    water problem and a big part of water reserve is in Azerbaijani
    occupied lands.

    "Other serious problem is that, rivers flowing through Armenia to
    Azerbaijan are polluted with chemical, biological and other dangerous
    wastes by Armenia," she said. Azerbaijan raised this issue in various
    international organizations, as well as, presented written appeal to
    the Committee of Ministers of Council of Europe, but proper reactions
    were not given. Pashayeva mentioned that Armenia did not ratify
    convention on protection of trans-border water.
