Khazar Ibragim: "Only after the Azerbaijani lands, occupied by
Armenians, are released, will it be possible to speak about
construction of hydroelectric power stations with Iran"
28 January 2008 [14:39] - Today.Az
The issue of the construction of hydroelectric power stations on the
Iranian-Azerbaijani border can be settled only after release of the
Azerbaijani lands occupied by Armenia.
The due statement was made by spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of
Azerbaijan Khazar Ibragim, commenting on the issue of the
construction of an Iranian hydroelectric power station on the border
with Azerbaijan, which is currently under Armenian occupation, Day.Az
reports.
He noted that the discussions regarding the construction of a
hydroelectric power station on the Iranian border had been held since
the USSR period.
"Yet, after the USSR collapsed and a part of Azerbaijani lands were
occupied by Armenians, the construction of this establishment became
impossible. Naturally, Azerbaijan will undertake steps to improve the
living conditions of its citizens, residing in these territories and
may initiate the construction of this station after the occupied
lands are released. Currently, Iran works on its territory and joint
operation on the territory of Azerbaijan will be able only after
release", he said.
Kh.Ibragim noted that Azerbaijan controls this issue and it will not
agree to conduction of works in its occupied lands.
