Baku / 16.11.20 / Turan: The Ministry of Ecology of Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani public in general sharply condemn acts of environmental terror committed by Armenians in Kelbajar, said Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan Vugar Kerimov.
The destruction of flora and fauna by the Armenians, in particular the felling of plane trees more than two thousand years old in Jabrayil, Zangilan, Gubadli and other territories liberated from occupation, the burning of the Topkhana forest around the city of Shusha, and now the felling of trees and arson of objects in Kelbajar are ecological crimes.
