Azerbaijani specialists visited Sarsang water reservoir in Karabakh
Baku/23.08.22/Turan: On August 22, employees of the Melioration and Water Management of Azerbaijan OJSC, with the participation of local Armenian workers, examined the Sarsang water reservoir, located in the former Mardakert region of Karabakh.
This event can be considered extremely important, because this is the first evidence of the beginning of cooperation between the Karabakh Armenians and the state structures of Azerbaijan in 30 years.
This fact itself is of psychological significance to a large extent and may become the beginning for wider contacts between the Armenian community and the Azerbaijani population and government agencies.
The official statement says that technical monitoring of the reservoir was carried out, information was received on the schedule of water inflow and discharge from the reservoir.
Issues of restoring water supply to irrigated lands in lowland Azerbaijan were discussed. An agreement was reached to make such meetings regular.
This reservoir was built in 1976 and has a capacity of 560 million cubic meters. Its waters irrigated 96,000 hectares of arable land in Barda, Terter, Agdam, Agjabedi, Yevlakh and Goranboy.
During the years of the conflict, the Armenians blocked the flow of water into the low-lying regions of Azerbaijan, which caused great damage to the development of agriculture in the above-mentioned regions. -02B-
