Baku / 10.15.18 / Turan: There were no major changes in the landslide zone in the Badamdar settlement over the weekend, Aziz Garalov, head of the Geological Planning Expedition of the Ministry of Environment, said commenting on the situation between the 20th Section area and Badamdar.
Experts monitor the dynamics on the spot. In the past 24 hours, land collapses occurred in this zone, which blocked part of the road between the 20th Section and Badamdar.
According to the geologist, the reason for the activation of the landslide is the lack of sewage system of houses built in this area. Wastewater flows into the soil. As a result of the saturation of the layers with water, they come into motion, losing stability.
It should be noted that thousands of private houses have been built in this zone. Many of them are built on unstable slopes.
As for a possible relocation, then, as the geologist noted, this issue is within the purview of the government. -05D06-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
