Araz Azimov: "We offered international organizations Armenia to draw back military posts and we solve ecological problems caused by fires"

The Deputy Foreign Minister recommended Andrzey Kasprzyk to more closely read the reports on fires, APA reports.

"I can make my remarks to him directly not just through the media. Andrzey Kasprzyk must not forget that Azerbaijan is concerned about the damages of the fires. He should deal with this issue instead of calumniating. The problem of fires should be solved. We are ready to help Kasprzyk if he wants to deal with this," Mr.Azimov underlined.

He regarded the continuous arsons in the areas near the border and in the occupied Azerbaijani territories as a factor proving Armenian aggressive policy.

"As state, Armenia does not make efforts to put out the fires. Though Kasprzyk says he is not ecologist, in his report he said that the fires were caused by climate. If he is not an ecologist, how can he say that?" he said.

The Deputy Minister also said the Azerbaijani side raised the fire problem at international organizations, including the UN, Council of Europe and OSCE.

"We stated if Armenia does not want to put out the fires in the areas near the border and in the occupied territories, it should draw back its military posts 20 km. We are ready to solve ecological problems in the occupied territories, where the Armenians have drawn back from. If the fire does not stop, people will face problems in living there, because, they cannot engage in agriculture at least 5-10 years."
