Armenians, who are controlling the occupied lands of Azerbaijan, use different methods of war against us and one of them is a purposeful use of Terter river to cause harm to the residents of the Terter region, said Azerbaijan minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Huseyn Baghirov.

He reminded that the Sarsang water reservoir was built to irrigate the lands of Aran and Lower Karabakh.

The Minister noted that the water reservoir is currently controlled by the occupational forces of Armenia and they use it to harm the residents.

"They open the water reservoir in winter to cause a flood on the Azerbaijani lands and they close the water reservoir in summer when the population needs water", said Baghirov.
