"Azerbaijan ensured Canada R.V.Investment Company with rights to operate gold deposits in Azerbaijan. What makes us surprise is that the company has not defended its rights so far. We expected the R.V. Investment to exercise its full rights and appeal to the international courts within a short period of time to prevent illegal exploitation of gold deposits in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan," the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Huseyn Baghirov told journalists.

The Minister said that the government was also taking action about it and added that more reliable law firm was searched to bring foreign companies engaged in business activity in Azerbaijani territories under occupation to international court.

Mr.Baghirov also said that the Ministry's second report on ecological condition in the occupied territories had been completed. The report analyzed the issue of benefiting from national resources within ecological condition.

"We have found out a lot of negative nuances. The report will be translated into English and submitted to the international courts soon," the Minister reported.
Azerbaijan has created special commission to find out exploitation of natural resources in the occupied territories and damage caused by this operation.
